the short version: this site collects nothing about you on purpose. no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no contact form.

what still happens

server logs. the host records the usual request data — ip address, time, page, browser — because a web server cannot work without it. these logs are kept for a short time for security and then deleted.

fonts. the typeface is loaded from google fonts, which means your browser asks google for the font files and google sees your ip address while that happens. if you would rather it did not, a content blocker stops it and the site falls back to a system font.

one cookie. the opening animation plays once and then a cookie called kreis_seen remembers that for an hour so it does not play again. it holds no information about you and nothing is sent anywhere.

embedded sites. a web project page can show a live site in a window. that site loads in your browser directly and sets whatever it sets, same as if you had opened it yourself.

email
