What this site is

martindimoski.dev is a personal blog and portfolio. It is not a product, does not sell anything, and does not run advertising.

Data collected

This site collects the minimum amount of data necessary to function.

  • -Email address - only if you choose to sign in. Used solely for authentication via magic link. Not shared with third parties.
  • -Session data - a secure cookie is stored in your browser to maintain your session after signing in. It expires automatically.
  • -Server logs - standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) may be retained briefly by the hosting provider for operational purposes.

What is not collected

  • -No analytics or tracking scripts
  • -No advertising or ad network tracking
  • -No fingerprinting or behavioural profiling
  • -No data is sold or shared with third parties for marketing

Third-party content

The Feeds section fetches RSS content from third-party publishers (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, The Verge, etc.). Visiting those feeds is done server-side - your browser does not connect to those publishers directly. Their own privacy policies apply to their content.

YouTube music player

This site includes an optional music player that embeds YouTube videos. The following applies when you use it:

  • -Consent required — the YouTube player does not load until you explicitly click "Accept & play". No YouTube IFrame or Google cookies are set before that action.
  • -Privacy-enhanced embed — videos are embedded via youtube-nocookie.com, which reduces the data Google collects compared to the standard embed domain.
  • -Google cookies — once you consent and the player loads, Google may set cookies on your device as described in Google's privacy policy.
  • -Search API — YouTube search queries are routed through a server-side endpoint. Your browser does not contact the YouTube Data API directly, and the API key is never exposed client-side.
  • -Legal basis — processing is based on your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site (key: music-player-consent-v1).
