Privacy Policy.
Last updated: October 2025
The Perl Ad Server is a community project to help promote Perl-related events. We respect your privacy and want to be transparent about how this site works.
Information We Collect
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): We use Google Analytics to understand how people use this website (e.g., which pages are viewed, what browsers are used). Google collects this information in an anonymised way. We do not see or store personally identifiable information.
- Web hosting logs: This site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect standard web server logs (such as IP address and request details) for operational and security purposes. These logs are managed by GitHub according to their Privacy Statement.
- No other tracking: Apart from GA4 and GitHub’s own hosting logs, we do not collect, store, or process any personal data.
Use of the Perl Ads Script
When you include the Perl Ads script (perl-ads.js) on your
site:
- The your page makes two requests: one to fetch the script itself and one to fetch the JSON file containing the current ads.
- These requests are served as static files. No cookies, tracking pixels, or identifiers are set.
- We do not log who requests the ads or which sites display them.
Cookies
This site does not set any cookies of its own. Google Analytics may use cookies for analytics purposes. You can learn more about Google’s data practices in the Google Privacy Policy.
Your Choices
- If you do not wish to be included in Google Analytics tracking, you can use a browser plugin such as Google Analytics Opt-out.
- If you run the Perl Ads script on your site and want to avoid even minimal external requests, you may choose not to use the script.
