Privacy

This site is static: it sets no cookies and has no forms.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits, see which pages are read and which websites send visitors here. Its script does not set cookies or store anything in your browser, and the Web Analytics reports we see are aggregated counts, not data about individual visitors. The visit log below is separate. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Visit log

On every page request we record the IP address, the approximate location Cloudflare derives from it (country, region, city, postal code and coordinates), the network operator (for example an internet provider or a hosting company), connection details (protocol, encryption and network timing), all request headers including your browser's user-agent and language, the page address and the referring page, and the time. This is recorded by code that runs at Cloudflare's edge before the page is sent.

If you are outside the EU, EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland and your browser runs JavaScript, a script on this site also reads characteristics of your browser and device: screen, time zone, languages, hardware, graphics and audio rendering, fonts and automation indicators. With the open-source FingerprintJS library it computes a browser fingerprint identifier, and with the open-source BotD library a bot or not-bot verdict. It also counts interactions (scrolls, clicks, key presses and touches, not their content or the path of the pointer) and the time you stay on the page. Both libraries are served from this site, not from a third party. For visitors in the EU, EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland, or whose country cannot be determined, this script is not sent, but the request record above is still written.

We use this to tell automated traffic from readers and to understand which pages are read. We set no cookies and use no browser storage, and we do not sell or share these records. They are stored at Cloudflare (D1 database) for 90 days and then deleted. To object or to ask for deletion, write to privacy@coverletterdesk.com (the publisher's address for all its sites).

Your hosting provider may keep standard server logs.
