Privacy Policy

This page explains what dustinlifford.com collects, how cookies and analytics work here, and how to control your preferences at any time. Effective July 24, 2026.


Overview

What this policy covers.

This policy applies to dustinlifford.com and explains how the site uses cookies and analytics, and what personal information, if any, is collected through normal use.

This site does not require an account and does not process payments. The only data collected comes from the optional analytics tools described below, and only after you say yes.


Cookie Consent

You choose before anything runs.

When you first visit, a consent banner asks whether you are comfortable with analytics cookies. Nothing beyond what is strictly needed to load the page runs before you make a choice.

Your choice is saved in a cookie named dl_consent for up to 12 months, so you are not asked again on every visit. You can change your mind at any time using the Privacy Preferences link in the footer of every page.


Analytics Tools

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

If you accept analytics cookies, this site uses Google Analytics 4 to see aggregate traffic and page performance, and Microsoft Clarity to see how pages are used through session recordings and heatmaps.

Both tools are configured to skip advertising signals. No ad storage, ad user data, or ad personalization values are ever sent, whether or not you accept analytics.

If you decline or do not respond, neither tool loads at all.


What This Site Does Not Do

No selling, no ad tracking.

  • Does not sell personal information
  • Does not share analytics data with anyone beyond Google and Microsoft, the providers of the tools above
  • Does not run advertising or retargeting pixels
  • Does not build a marketing email list from analytics data
  • Does not use any cookie or tracking technology beyond what is described here

Your Choices

Managing your preferences.

Use the Privacy Preferences link in the footer to open the consent settings again at any time and change or withdraw your choice.

You can also block cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may prevent the consent preference itself from being remembered, so you would be asked again on your next visit.

If you have a question about this policy or want to know what data may exist about a visit from you, email [email protected].


Changes to This Policy

This page may be updated.

If what this site collects or how it is used changes, this page will be updated and the effective date above will change accordingly.
