Overview
This policy covers maksym.info and its subdomains (research.maksym.info, photos.maksym.info, tech.maksym.info) as well as uadiary.org. These are personal websites run by Maksym Stetsyuk.
maksym.info, research.maksym.info, and photos.maksym.info are static sites with no user accounts, login forms, analytics, or tracking scripts.
tech.maksym.info and uadiary.org are powered by WordPress. They have administrative login pages (not public-facing) and use cookies for site functionality, including a cookie-consent banner. Public visitors who do not log in are not tracked, but WordPress may set functional cookies.
What Data I Collect
On the static sites (maksym.info, research.maksym.info, photos.maksym.info): None. There are no contact forms, no sign-up flows, and no cookies set by my code. The only way to reach me is through the mailto link in the footer, which opens your own email client — I never see your email address unless you choose to send me a message.
On the WordPress sites (tech.maksym.info, uadiary.org): I do not collect personal data from visitors. WordPress may set functional cookies (e.g., for the cookie-consent banner). No analytics or tracking scripts are used. Comments are currently closed on both sites; some older posts on uadiary.org display historical comments that include the commenter’s self-chosen display name.
Cookies
The static sites do not set any cookies.
The WordPress sites (tech.maksym.info, uadiary.org) may set the following cookies:
- Cookie-consent preference — Records your choice on the cookie banner so it is not shown repeatedly.
- Functional cookies — Used for admin sessions. These are not set for ordinary visitors who simply read content.
- Performance cookies — May be set to serve cached pages. No personal data is stored.
Third-Party Embeds
Some pages embed content from third-party services that may set their own cookies or collect data under their own privacy policies:
- Google Slides (research.maksym.info) — An embedded presentation loaded from Google. Google may set cookies when the embed loads. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- YouTube (research.maksym.info) — An embedded video using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). In this mode, YouTube does not set cookies unless you click play. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- WordPress resources (tech.maksym.info, uadiary.org) — WordPress loads emoji scripts and fonts from external servers operated by Automattic (s.w.org) and Google (fonts.googleapis.com). These requests transmit your IP address to those services. See Automattic’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.
photos.maksym.info does not embed any third-party content.
External Links
These sites link to external services such as LinkedIn, GitHub, Brooklyn College/CUNY, and Tumblr. Once you follow a link to another site, that site’s own privacy policy applies. I have no control over their data practices.
Server Logs
The web server does not retain access or error logs. No visitor data (IP addresses, pages visited, browser information) is recorded or stored.
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data related to you. Since I do not collect personal data, there is generally nothing to request. However, if you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out via the contact link in the footer below.
Changes to This Policy
If anything changes, I will update this page. There is no mailing list or notification system — the date below reflects the latest revision.
