Who is responsible
These sites are run by Paul O'Neil, Switzerland. For any privacy question or request, write to privacy@tick-ticker.com.
What we measure, and only with your consent
If you are in the EU, the UK or Switzerland, we ask before setting analytics cookies. Until you accept, none are set. Your choice is stored once and applies across all four sites.
- Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) counts page views and the controls people use, such as which links, tabs and filters. It is served from our own domain, and Google's advertising features (Google signals, ad personalisation) are switched off. If you decline, Google Analytics receives cookieless signals with no identifier, which it uses only to estimate totals.
- Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) records how pages are used, including clicks, scrolling and anonymised session replays, so we can find layouts that do not work. Text you type is masked. If you decline, Clarity sets no cookies.
Both providers may process data in the United States. They are certified under the EU–US and Swiss–US Data Privacy Frameworks.

Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time. Declining removes the analytics cookies we can reach. The same control is in the footer of every page.
Hosting
The sites are hosted on Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and to protect them from abuse.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection you can ask to access, correct or delete personal data about you, object to its processing, or complain to your data protection authority. Because we hold no names, emails or accounts, the analytics identifiers above are usually the only data involved.
