Who we are

This website is operated by Astral Coders. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at: hello@astralcoders.com

What data we collect and why

Google Analytics (with consent)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the site — pages visited, time on page, and general location (country/region). This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally.

We use Google's Consent Mode v2: analytics cookies are not set until you accept via the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and declining on your next visit.

Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).

Performance analytics (no consent required)

We run first-party performance monitoring (Pandalytics) that measures Core Web Vitals — page load speed, layout stability, and responsiveness. This data is aggregated, contains no personal identifiers, and is used solely to improve site performance. No cookies are set.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Contact

If you email us directly, we retain your email address and message only for as long as needed to respond.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
