Privacy policy

Code Stoa has no accounts, no ads and no cookies. We count visits with analytics that doesn’t use cookies or identify you. You can read every lesson without telling us who you are.
On your device
What the site keeps in your browser
Two things are saved in your browser’s local storage, and only there: your light or dark theme choice, and which lessons you have finished and read last, so the site can suggest what to read next. Neither is ever sent to us. Clearing your browser’s site data removes both.
Hosting
What our host sees
The site and its videos are served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request data, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We don’t use that data to identify or profile you. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Analytics
How we count visits
To learn which lessons people read, each page loads a small script from Cloudflare Web Analytics. On a page view it tells Cloudflare the page address, the page that linked you here, your browser and device type, your country and how fast the page loaded. It sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, doesn’t fingerprint you and doesn’t follow you to other sites. We only see totals, such as visits per page, never individual readers. See Cloudflare Web Analytics.
If you write to us
Messages to support@codestoa.com or feedback@codestoa.com reach the author’s inbox. We use your address only to reply, and never share it or add it to a mailing list.
YouTube
Our YouTube channel and the YouTube API
Code Stoa publishes its videos to its own YouTube channel with a small tool that uses YouTube API Services. It signs in only to the Code Stoa channel, and uses that access to upload our videos and set their titles, descriptions, thumbnails, captions and playlists. It doesn’t read, store or share data about viewers or any other YouTube account.
Watching our videos on YouTube is covered by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Access granted to the tool can be revoked at any time from Google account connections.

Changes and questions
If this changes, for example if we add another analytics tool or any cookie, this page will say so and its date will change first. Questions? Email support@codestoa.com.
