Privacy & analytics

Updated October 3, 2026.

Optional analytics

If you choose “Allow analytics,” this website loads Google Analytics to help Joel Davenport understand visits, traffic sources, pages read, and clicks on book links, downloads, Substack links, and speaking links. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visits and reports information such as browser and device details and approximate geographic location.

Google Analytics does not load until you accept. Choose “No thanks” to browse without it. You can change your choice using “Analytics preferences” at the bottom of any page. Withdrawing consent stops future tracking and removes this site's Google Analytics cookies; it does not erase data already collected.

Your analytics choice is saved in this browser's local storage. Analytics cookies are configured to expire after 180 days, with expiry renewed on subsequent visits. Clearing browser storage resets your choice. Advertising storage, ad personalization, and Google signals are disabled in this site's analytics configuration.

Analytics data is processed by Google. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's privacy policy.

Site delivery and external services

This site is hosted by Cloudflare and loads fonts from Google Fonts. Those providers receive the connection information needed to deliver their services, independently of your analytics choice. Links to Amazon and Substack take you to separate services with their own privacy practices. Clicking a speaking email link opens your email application.

Analytics records link clicks, not completed Amazon purchases, confirmed Substack subscriptions, or the contents of emails.
