# Privacy and cookies

You can explore this portfolio without accepting analytics.

This site is operated by Bilal Harry Lindemann, under the name Lindemann Design. For questions about your information, email [hello@lindemann.design](mailto:hello@lindemann.design).

## Optional analytics

With your permission, this site loads Google Analytics to help me understand which pages people visit, how they arrive and how they explore the work. Google receives usage information such as page addresses, referral sources, browser and device details, and interactions measured by the Analytics tag.

The Google tag stays blocked until you accept analytics. Advertising features are disabled in this site's configuration. Analytics is not loaded on development or preview sites, or on restricted case-study pages.

When you accept, Google Analytics can set `_ga` and `_ga_…` cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions. This site configures them to expire after 180 days without extending that expiry on each visit. Google processes the analytics information. Read [how Google uses information from sites that use its services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

## Changing your choice

Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Rejecting analytics leaves public content available. If you withdraw consent after accepting, this site disables Analytics, removes its accessible analytics cookies and reloads the page to remove the running tag. This does not erase data already sent to Google.

## What this site remembers

A cookie named `ld_consent` remembers your consent choice for 182 days. Theme and motion preferences are saved in your browser when you change them. These preferences are used to operate the site and are separate from Google Analytics.

## Contact and external links

Contact links open your email application. If you email me, I receive the information you choose to send and use it to respond. Links to GitHub, LinkedIn, product sites and other external services take you to sites with their own privacy practices.
