Privacy statement

Version 1.0, October 14, 2026

This covers blog.julik.nl, stanquette.nl, shop.stanquette.nl and geneva-drive.dev. They are run by Stanquette.

Counting visits

I count visits to these sites myself, with software I wrote. We do not share data with any third-party tracking platform. No Google Analytics, no Meta or LinkedIn pixel, and no other company’s tracking scripts. There are no cookies, which is why there is no cookie banner either.

For each visit this records:

• the pages you look at, their titles, and how long each was in view;
• the website that sent you, by name only, and the campaign tags;
• your browser’s family, your operating system, and whether you are on a computer, a phone or a tablet;
• which buttons and links you follow

To tell one visit from another, your browser keeps a random number for as long as the tab is open, and forgets it when you close the tab. Your IP address and browser name are not stored.

Never recorded: your name, your email address, your IP address, where you are, or anything you type into a form.

If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we respect them.

I do this because I need to know how the sites are used and whether what I spend on advertising does anything. Dutch law allows measuring a website in this way, with little effect on your privacy. You can still object, and Do Not Track is the quickest way to do it.

The emails we send may contain a small image that tells me a mail of that kind was opened, such as “a receipt was opened”, never by whom.

Purchases

An order in the shop remembers the visit it came from. That is how I can tell whether an ad led to a sale. It is not shared with anyone, advertising platforms included.

To sell you a license we need your billing information. This information is retained internally for legitimate business purposes, as mandated by the Dutch accounting rules.

Who else handles it

• Stripe takes card payments. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach me.
• The EU’s VIES service and, for UK numbers, HMRC confirm a VAT number you give us.
• X.com displays embeds on blog.julik.nl and X’s widget may track you for X’s own purposes.
• Mastodon servers display embeds on blog.julik.nl and may track you for their purposes. Most Mastodon servers do not.

How long it is kept

• Visit records are kept for one year and then deleted.
• Invoices and the rest of the financial records are kept for seven years, as per Dutch law.
• Your account and license stay until you erase your account, whereupon only the financial records remain.
• Like any web server, ours keeps a log of the requests it answers, with IP addresses, to troubleshoot and to fend off abuse. It is overwritten as it fills.
• Encrypted backups of the server may hold copies for longer. They are only read to recover from a failure.

Your rights

You can ask to see what we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, and you can object to how it is used. Write to julik@stanquette.nl
