Privacy Policy

Privacy policy for Modern Frontend Architecture covering hosting, analytics, cookies, and contact information.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Modern Frontend Architecture (“the site”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://modernfrontendarchitecture.com.

Summary

  • We publish technical content and do not currently require user accounts.
  • We do not currently offer newsletter signup or user comments.
  • We may process basic technical logs and security-related data through our hosting and infrastructure providers.
  • We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) only after you accept analytics via the consent banner.
  • We store your analytics consent preference in your browser (localStorage).

Information We Collect

1. Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our infrastructure providers may process standard technical information such as:

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device and operating system information
  • referring page / referring domain
  • requested URLs and timestamps
  • response status codes and basic diagnostic information

This information is typically processed for:

  • website delivery
  • security and abuse prevention
  • performance optimization and caching
  • troubleshooting and reliability monitoring

If you accept analytics in our consent banner, we load Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google may process information such as:

  • pages viewed
  • approximate location (derived by Google, not precise GPS)
  • browser/device information
  • interaction events (for example, page navigation and engagement events)
  • technical identifiers and cookie-related data used by Google Analytics

We use this information to understand how the site is used and improve content quality, navigation, and performance.

2. Information you voluntarily provide

At this time, we do not provide user accounts, comments, or an active newsletter form. If we add forms (for example, newsletter signup or contact forms) in the future, this policy will be updated to describe:

  • what data is collected
  • why it is collected
  • how long it is retained
  • which providers process it

How We Use Information

We use information (or allow our infrastructure providers to process it on our behalf) to:

  • serve website pages and assets
  • secure the site against abuse or malicious traffic
  • improve site performance and reliability
  • diagnose operational issues
  • understand high-level indexing/technical SEO status (for example, via webmaster tools)
  • analyze aggregate website usage and content performance (if you consent to analytics)

We do not currently sell personal data.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site relies on infrastructure-level caching and security systems that can involve cookies or similar technical mechanisms.

We also use a consent banner for analytics preferences.

To remember your choice, we store your consent preference in your browser using localStorage with a key similar to:

  • mfa-cookie-consent

This value is used to determine whether analytics should be loaded.

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure website usage and engagement.

You can reject analytics in the banner. If you previously accepted, you can withdraw consent by clearing site storage/cookies in your browser (and we may add a preference reset control on the site later).

Infrastructure and Service Providers

The site is currently delivered using services that may process technical request data to operate the website, including:

  • Cloudflare (DNS and edge proxy/routing features, where enabled)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS), including S3 and CloudFront for hosting and content delivery
  • Google Analytics / Google Tag (analytics, only after consent)

These providers may process technical metadata (such as IP addresses and request logs) as part of normal website operation, security, and content delivery.

For analytics, Google acts under its own terms and privacy policies for Google Analytics services.

Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor indexing and search performance at an aggregate website level. This helps us understand how pages appear in Google Search and diagnose technical SEO issues.

Google may process data according to its own policies when interacting with its services.

Google Analytics (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure site usage and improve our content and user experience.

GA4 is loaded only after you affirmatively accept analytics in the consent banner.

We configure GA4 with IP anonymization enabled in our site implementation. However, Google may still process data according to its own service behavior and policies.

For more information, see:

Data Retention

We do not currently maintain a user account database for this website.

Technical logs and diagnostic records may be retained by infrastructure providers for limited periods based on their operational and security policies.

Analytics data retention is governed primarily by our Google Analytics property settings and Google’s service policies.

If we later introduce forms or accounts, we will document additional retention periods here.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share data only as necessary to operate the site through our infrastructure/service providers, comply with legal obligations, or protect the site and users from abuse.

International Data Transfers

Depending on the infrastructure and CDN services used, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We rely on service providers that operate global infrastructure to deliver content efficiently and securely.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding personal data, including rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing.

Because the site currently does not maintain user accounts or directly collect much personal data, requests may be limited to information available in operational systems.

For analytics-specific controls, you can:

  • decline analytics in the consent banner
  • clear browser cookies/storage for this site to remove the stored consent preference
  • use browser privacy controls or extensions that limit analytics scripts

Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for a general audience interested in software engineering and technical architecture. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

  • site features
  • analytics or marketing tools
  • legal requirements
  • hosting/infrastructure providers

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page.
