Privacy

Updated 25 September 2026 · drwbuilds.com

This site collects nothing about you. No analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookies, no accounts. Nothing is stored in your browser, and the server has nowhere to write anything down even if it were asked to.

That is unusual enough to be worth saying plainly rather than burying in a page of boilerplate. The rest of this is the honest remainder: what happens anyway because the page has to reach you, and the few moments where you choose to involve someone else.

What this site does not do

Analytics
None. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no self-hosted counter, and no logging of page views.
Cookies
None — which is why there is no cookie banner. A banner asking consent for cookies that do not exist is theatre.
Browser storage
None. No localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB.
Accounts
There are none to make, so there is no password or profile here.
Fonts
Served from this domain, so loading a page does not tell a font provider you were here.
The images
The photographs behind the text are ordinary image files served from this domain, like the page itself. Nothing is fetched from anywhere else to show them, and they do not read anything about you.
Server logs
The one piece of server code answers a single question — whether the stream is live. It reads the requested path and nothing else: not your address, not your headers, not a body.

Who else your browser talks to

  1. CloudflareEvery page load

    Hosts the site. Like any host it handles the connection itself, which means it processes your IP address to deliver the page to you. That is how the request reaches you at all; it is not something extra switched on.

  2. Google (YouTube)The home page only

    The clip thumbnails are loaded from i.ytimg.com, so your browser fetches those images from Google directly. Google therefore sees your IP address, your browser's user-agent and the fact that you were on that page. No click is required — it happens as the page renders, though the strip loads lazily, so only once you scroll to it. No other page on this site loads any of them.

  3. ButtondownOnly if you subscribe

    The newsletter form posts your email address straight to Buttondown. It does not travel through this site's server, and nothing about it is stored here.

  4. StripeOnly if you click Tip

    Tipping is a link to a Stripe-hosted page. There are no card fields and no payment code on this site, so anything you type goes to Stripe and is never seen here.

Links out

Every link that leaves this site — the platforms in the footer, the products on the building page, and the source on GitHub — is an ordinary link. Nothing is preloaded and nothing is fetched from them until you choose to follow one. Once you do, you are on their site, under their privacy policy, and nothing here applies any more.

Questions

Ask in Discord or on X. If this page ever stops matching what the site actually does, that is a bug worth reporting — the source is on GitHub.
