External services

GitHub Pages
This website is hosted by GitHub, on its GitHub Pages service. GitHub is owned by Microsoft. GitHub does not set cookies on pages served through GitHub Pages, but GitHub Pages documentation says:

Google Fonts API
Google Fonts API is used to provide custom font support. Privacy information about Google Fonts API is available from this Google FAQ:
The Google Fonts API is designed to limit the collection, storage, and use of end-user data. The use of the Google Fonts Web API is unauthenticated and the Google Fonts API does not set or log cookies. Requests to the Google Fonts Web API are made to resource-specific domains, such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com. Font requests are separate from and don’t contain any credentials sent to google.com while using other Google services that are authenticated, such as Gmail.
When end users visit a website that embeds Google Fonts, their browsers send HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API. The Google Fonts Web API serves the Google Fonts Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and subsequently the font files specified in the CSS to the users. Such HTTP requests include (1) the IP address used by the respective user to access the Internet, (2) the requested URL on the Google server, and (3) HTTP headers including the user agent describing the website visitors’ Internet browser and operating system versions as well as the referer (i.e. the webpage on which the Google font is to be displayed).
For clarity, Google does not use any information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end users or for targeted advertising.

YouTube
This website occasionally includes videos that are hosted on the YouTube service. YouTube is owned by Google.
By default, videos are not embedded on webpages, but instead a placeholder is displayed. Clicking on this placeholder (which says ‘Load YouTube video’) will embed the video in the webpage using a ‘privacy-enhanced mode’. YouTube states this embedded video will not influence your user experience:
The Privacy Enhanced Mode of the YouTube embedded player prevents the use of views of embedded YouTube content from influencing the viewer’s browsing experience on YouTube. This means that the view of a video shown in the Privacy Enhanced Mode of the embedded player will not be used to personalize the YouTube browsing experience, either within your Privacy Enhanced Mode embedded player or in the viewer’s subsequent YouTube viewing experience.
If ads are served on a video shown in the Privacy Enhanced Mode of the embedded player, those ads will likewise be non-personalized. In addition, the view of a video shown in the Privacy Enhanced Mode of the embedded player will not be used to personalize advertising shown to the viewer outside of your site or app.

Please note however, that there are privacy implications of loading embedded content—this is like loading a webpage normally in your browser and carries all the same risks. As such, interaction with any embedded video is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. Therefore, although your use of the embedded video may not influence your user experience on YouTube, Google may sitll collect personally identifiable information.
