Privacy
How Old Palm Bay handles data.
Old Palm Bay is a static site. There are no user accounts and no comments, and nothing here sells or shares your personal data. The only thing we measure is aggregate analytics, described below. Your browser also stores a small theme preference and your analytics choice locally; neither is sent anywhere.
Cloudflare Web Analytics (no consent needed)
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages and sources are popular. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and does not fingerprint you or follow you across other sites. Because it cannot identify you, it runs for every visitor without asking permission.
Google Analytics (consent-based in the EU)
We also use Google Analytics 4 for a fuller picture of how the archive is read. Unlike the Cloudflare tool, it sets a cookie and a random identifier, so we treat it as consent-based:
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland it stays off until you choose Accept on the banner. No cookie or identifier is set unless you opt in.
- Everywhere else it is on by default, which local privacy laws allow for first-party analytics. You can turn it off below at any time.
- Advertising and marketing signals are off everywhere. We run no ads and build no ad profiles.
Google Analytics data may be processed by Google LLC in the United States. Those transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission found adequate in 2023 and the EU General Court upheld in September 2025.
