Privacy Policy

1. Who runs this site

This website (https://vikataylor.com) is operated by Vika Taylor, an independent designer and creator. Contact: vika.taylor.one@gmail.com.

2. What data is collected and why

The site collects two kinds of data, both with your explicit consent:

• Analytics (Google Analytics 4) — only after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. Stores cookies that record anonymized session info: pages viewed, referring source, approximate location (country/region — IPs are anonymized), device type. Used to understand which content is interesting to visitors. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set.
• Email address — only if you submit it via the newsletter form. Used to email you when the portfolio launches or for occasional related updates. Stored in Cloudflare KV (the site's hosting provider). Not shared with anyone. You can unsubscribe anytime by replying to any email or contacting vika.taylor.one@gmail.com.

3. Cookies

Cookies set by this site, all with default state DENIED until you opt in:

• _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics (set only after Accept). Lifetime: up to 24 months.
• vt_consent (localStorage, not technically a cookie) — remembers your consent choice for 180 days.

You can change your choice anytime by clearing the site's localStorage in your browser, or by emailing me.

4. Third-party services

• Google Analytics (Google LLC, USA) — analytics. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
• Cloudflare (Cloudflare Inc., USA) — hosting and CDN. Cloudflare may temporarily process IP addresses and headers for security and routing. cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
• Google Fonts — fonts are loaded from Google's CDN. Google may log the request. No identifier beyond standard request headers.
• YouTube links — clicking a YouTube link takes you to youtube.com, which has its own privacy policy.

5. Your rights (GDPR / UK GDPR / similar)

• Access the data held about you
