Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 August 2026.
What we collect
If you sign up for the free setup guide and updates, we collect the email address you submit. We also use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read, which sets cookies in your browser — details under Analytics. We ask for nothing else, and we never sell or share your address. (See Third-party services below for everything loaded from another domain.)
Why
Solely to email you about MIDIRover — the launch and occasional updates. We will not sell or share your address.
Where it's stored
Your email is stored with our email provider. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email, which removes you from the list.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time — just reply to any email you receive from us, or email roger4ni@gmail.com.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-WQD2CMTWP5) on every page, including this one. It loads automatically when the page does — no click is needed — and it sets cookies (_ga and _ga_*, which last up to two years) to tell repeat visits apart.
It records the usual web measurement data: pages viewed, roughly where in the world you are, referring site, and device and browser type. We use it for one thing — knowing which guides are worth writing more of. We do not use it for advertising, we have not enabled Google Signals or ads personalisation, and nothing here is linked to the email address you may have given us.
No cookies unless you agree. No cookie is set, and nothing that could identify you is sent, until you choose Accept on the banner. Before that — and permanently, if you choose Decline — Google Analytics is held in a denied state (Google Consent Mode v2), so it cannot write cookies or recognise you across visits or sites. Note the wording: nothing identifying, not nothing at all. One cookieless signal is still sent, and the next paragraph spells out precisely what is in it. Your choice itself is remembered in this browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie, so the banner stops asking. Declining costs you nothing here; every page works identically.
What still gets sent if you decline. We would rather spell this out than let the paragraph above imply more than it says. We use Google’s advanced consent mode, which means the measurement script does load, and on each page it sends Google one small cookieless signal even while consent is denied. It carries only coarse, non-identifying data: the time, your browser’s user-agent string, the page you came from, whether the address contained ad-click information, and the fact that you declined. No cookies, no identifiers, nothing tying it to you or to any email address, and nothing that follows you to another site. Google uses it to estimate overall traffic it cannot measure directly. If you would rather send nothing at all, the switch below turns it off on this site outright, and the add-on after it blocks Google Analytics everywhere.
Changing your mind. Use the first button below to clear your choice, and the banner asks again on your next page load — unless you have also switched on Never send analytics from this browser, which wins over everything and keeps analytics off without asking. Turn that back off first if you want the banner to return.
Turning it off completely, here on this site. Declining still leaves the cookieless signal described above. This switch goes further: it stops the measurement script from loading at all, so nothing is sent — not a cookie, not a signal, not even a request to Google. It is remembered in this browser, so it keeps working whatever network, VPN or device address you are on. Clearing your browser's site data for midirover.com will forget it.
Blocking it outright, everywhere. Google publishes a browser add-on that blocks Google Analytics on every site, not just this one. Any tracker-blocking extension, or your browser's own tracking protection, also stops it.
An honest note on the change. Until 7 August 2026 this page said we ran no analytics and set no cookies, and promised that if that changed we would use a cookieless tool. Google Analytics is not cookieless, so that promise was not kept. It now runs consent-first instead — denied unless you opt in — which is closer to the spirit of what was promised, but this section describes what actually happens rather than what was intended.
Third-party services
Four third parties can be involved. Google Analytics and the “Buy me a coffee” widget load on every page, including this one; the other two are contacted only when you choose to use them:
- Google Analytics — loads on every page as soon as it opens and sets its own cookies, as described under Analytics. Governed by Google's privacy policy.
- Email signup — the form sends your address to our email provider (Kit) when you submit it.
- “Buy me a coffee” button — every page embeds Buy Me a Coffee's widget in the footer, so it loads automatically from its CDN as soon as the page does, and pulls a web font from Google Fonts. No click is needed for that to happen. It may set its own cookies and is governed by Buy Me a Coffee's privacy policy. We don't receive any data from it unless you actually make a donation there.
- Feedback board — the “Vote on features” link (on the Feedback page and in the plugin's Property Inspector) opens our feature-request board hosted by Featurebase, governed by Featurebase's privacy policy. It's an external link — nothing from it loads on this site and we set no cookies for it here; anything you post on the board is subject to Featurebase's terms.
