This site, Deconstructing Expectation (https://deconstructing-expectation.com), is run by Nicolas. This page explains what information may be collected when you visit and how you can control it.

What we collect

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used. This may include:

• Pages visited and approximate location (country/city level)
• Device and browser type
• Which tracks are played, paused, or completed (custom events we send to measure listening)
• Whether lyrics panels are opened

We do not use advertising cookies or sell your data. We do not knowingly collect your name or email through analytics — only if you email us directly.

Cookies

Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga to distinguish visits. We do not use advertising cookies.

Installed app playback

If you add this site to your home screen and open it as an installed app, we store which track you last had open in your browser’s localStorage so the player can reopen on that track. This data stays on your device; we do not send it to our servers.

Cookie notice

On your first visit, a short notice explains that we use analytics cookies. Clicking OK dismisses it; that preference is stored in your browser so the notice does not reappear every time. You can read it again anytime via About cookies in the site footer.

Data retention

Google processes analytics data according to its own retention settings in our Google Analytics account. See Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles data.

Hosting

The site is served as static files. Our host may process server logs (such as IP address and requested URL) for security and operations. We do not combine those logs with analytics data.
