## No Tracking
Who doesn't like cookies? I'm [a baker](https://redzuurdesem.be/) - I would know. Well, I don't like cookies on websites, because they rise privacy concerns. That is why, inspired by [Laura Kalbag's "I don't track you"](https://laurakalbag.com/i-dont-track-you/) philosophy, I do everything I can to _not_ track you, but to track **traffic** instead.
I achieved this by ditching Google Analytics and hosting third-party libraries myself. So _rest assured_, Google does not know you were here! Instead, I use [GoatCounter](https://www.goatcounter.com), a simple and privacy-focused analytics system that is self-hosted. It does _not_ require any cookie and runs on my own SSL-verified domain.
There is no commenting system anymore. One less thing to be worried about. Simply reply via e-mail or Mastodon instead. There are no YouTube-embedded videos that come with free tracking cookies: self-hosted thumbnails are embedded instead.
