Privacy

This site does not track you. Here is the specific version of that claim.

Last updated August 5, 2026.

Plenty of sites open a privacy page with a sentence about how much they respect your privacy and then spend two thousand words describing the eleven companies they share it with. This is not one of those.

What we collect

Nothing.

As of the date at the top of this page, Joyful Take runs no analytics, sets no cookies, embeds no trackers or pixels, loads nothing from a third-party server, has no accounts, no comments, and no forms. Every file the site loads comes from this domain. A browser opening an article here makes no request to anyone but us.

  • No Google Analytics or any other analytics product
  • No advertising or advertising identifiers
  • No social media embeds, share widgets, or like buttons
  • No fonts, scripts, or stylesheets loaded from a content delivery network
  • No cookies, no local storage, except one entry described below

The one exception

If you use the light and dark switch in the header, your choice is saved in your own browser under the name jt-theme. It holds one word, either light or dark. It never leaves your device, and it is not a cookie, so it is not sent to us with any request. Clearing your browser storage removes it.

What our host can see

The site is served by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes the technical information required to deliver a page, including your IP address, at the moment it serves a request. We do not receive per-visitor data from that, we have not enabled any visitor analytics product, and we have no way to identify you.

Articles here link to sources on other sites, which is the point of the sources list. Those sites have their own practices and are not covered by this page. We send a restricted referrer when you follow a link out, so the destination sees that you came from this site but not which page you were reading.

If this changes

Analytics or advertising may be added later. If that happens, this page will be updated before the change goes live, with the date and what specifically was added. It will not be buried.
