Privacy
Short version: this site measures visits with Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics, shows no advertising, and stores nothing else about you unless you send us an email.
What the site itself collects
Apart from Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics (see Analytics below), nothing. There is no other analytics script, no advertising pixel, no embedded video, no social widget and no web font served by a third-party host. The search box on the home page runs entirely in your browser against a list already in the page — the words you type are never sent anywhere.
Cookies and local storage
The site itself does not set cookies and does not use local storage or session storage to identify you. Google Analytics may set cookies outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, as described under Analytics. There is no consent banner because analytics cookies are not set in those regions and no advertising cookies are set anywhere.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to count visits and see which pages are read. It reports to a Google Analytics property used only for this site.
Google Analytics records the pages you view, the page that referred you, the type of device and browser, your approximate location (country and city, derived from your IP address) and timings of the visit. According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. The site does not send your name, email address or any other identifying detail to Google Analytics.
The data is not used for advertising and is not sold. Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off for this site, and the advertising storage settings are set to "denied" for every visitor.
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the site tells Google Analytics not to set analytics cookies (Google's consent mode, default "denied"). Google may still receive basic, cookieless measurements of the visit, which it uses only in aggregate. Elsewhere, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) to tell one visit from another.
The site is also served through Cloudflare, which runs Cloudflare Web Analytics on its pages. It measures page performance and counts page views in aggregate. According to Cloudflare, it does not set cookies and does not track visitors across other sites. See cloudflare.com/web-analytics and Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
To opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or block cookies and scripts from Google in your browser. How Google uses data from sites that use its services is explained at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
Server logs
The site is served by a hosting provider, which keeps standard request logs — IP address, timestamp, requested URL and user-agent string — for security and reliability purposes. Those logs are held by the provider under its own terms and are not combined with any other data to profile readers. We do not use them for marketing.
If you write to contact@isidor-awards.com, we hold your message and address for as long as it takes to answer, and longer only if the message is part of a published correction. Corrections are published with the substance of the claim; we do not publish the sender's email address unless the sender asks us to.
Email is handled by an email provider acting on our instructions. We do not add senders to any mailing list, because there is no mailing list.
Links to other sites
Records link to the sources they rely on — store pages, developer documentation, accessibility statements. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control and cannot describe here.
Your rights
If you have written to us and want your message and address deleted, ask and we will delete them, except where the message is the record of a published correction. Apart from the visit data held by Google Analytics, which is not linked to your name or email address, there is no other personal data to request, correct or export.
Changes
If this policy changes, the change is published here. Changes are dated on this page.
