Browsing does not create an account or profile
The site has no user accounts, comments, newsletter signup, advertising, or form for submitting dreams. It does not make automated decisions about visitors or build personal dream profiles. Optional audience measurement is kept separate from advertising and starts only after a visitor choosesAllow analytics.
Search runs in the browser
Search uses a Pagefind index served with the site. The search term is processed in the visitor's browser to find matching published pages. The words entered into search are kept in the browser URL fragment, which is not sent in a web request, and are not sent to Google Analytics. Analytics may record that a search happened, its character count, whether it returned a result, how many results appeared, and whether Pagefind or the local fallback supplied them.
Google Analytics is optional
If a visitor allows analytics, the site loads Google Analytics 4 using measurement ID G-XBR11WJ649. It can receive the page path and title, referring site, broad content group, approximate location derived during collection, browser and device details, and engagement information. Site-specific events cover navigation and content selections, source-link clicks, article-reading milestones, and the privacy-safe search measurements described above.
The implementation does not send a user ID, the words entered into search, dream text, email addresses, form data, or fine-grained location. Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals are disabled, and the advertising consent types remain denied. Google explainshow it uses information from sites that use its services.
When analytics is allowed, Google may set first-party cookies such as_ga and _ga_*. This site limits those cookies to 180 days. The Analytics property is intended to keep event-level data for no longer than 14 months; standard aggregated reports can remain available for longer under Google Analytics product behavior.
Analytics choices can be changed
The choice and its time are stored on the device undertdc-analytics-consent-v1 for up to 180 days. Choosing Decline prevents the Google tag from loading. The Analytics choicesbutton in the footer can be used at any time to change or withdraw the choice. Withdrawal stops future tracking and removes the site's accessible Google Analytics cookies; clearing site data removes both the analytics choice and the theme preference.
The theme preference stays on the device
If a visitor chooses light or dark mode, the browser stores that choice under the key tdc-theme. The setting is used only to show the selected theme on later pages and visits. It is not used for analytics, advertising, or profiling. Clearing site data in the browser removes the preference.
Hosting may create routine server logs
A hosting provider may process technical request data needed to deliver and protect the site. This can include an IP address, requested page, request time, browser or device information, and security events. The public version of this notice will name the provider and explain its purpose, legal basis, retention, recipients, and any international transfers.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the processing and applicable law, a person may have rights to information, access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection. Consent can be withdrawn when consent is the legal basis. A person may also complain to the relevant data protection authority.
This notice must change when the site changes
Accounts, advertising, embedded media, newsletters, contact methods, forms, dream submissions, personal interpretation tools, or a material expansion of analytics would change the data handled by the site. Any such feature requires an updated privacy review and notice before release.
