Privacy policy

Effective date: July 8, 2026.

The short version: this site has no accounts, sets no cookies, shows no ads, and does not collect or sell personal information. What follows is the complete picture.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. There is no registration, no login, no comment system and no newsletter. You can read every page on this site without telling us who you are.

Analytics

We use a self-hosted instance of Umami, a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics tool, to understand which pages are read. Umami stores aggregate counts — page views, referrers, country-level location, browser and device class. It sets no cookies, stores no IP addresses, and generates no persistent identifier that could follow you across days or across sites. The analytics script is served from this site's own domain, and the data lives on infrastructure we operate; it is not shared with, or sold to, anyone.

Hosting and server logs

The site is served by Cloudflare, whose edge network handles requests and may process standard technical data (IP address, user agent) transiently to deliver pages and protect against abuse, as described in Cloudflare's own privacy documentation. We do not use this data to identify visitors.

Advertising

There is none today. If we ever add advertising, this page will be updated first, and any consent mechanism legally required in your region will be put in place before ads appear.

Changes and contact

Material changes to this policy will update the effective date above. Questions about privacy on this site are welcome at support@historyofmovies.com — see the contact page.
