@mandon @jean as a german blogger i need to include a data-policy into the website. Is there one of micro.blog for blog-visitors (not micro.blog users) that i can refer to?
@flowinho @jean Currently we have the privacy policy for everything, not a policy that just applies to visitors of a hosted blog. Maybe we should split that out into its own section so it could be copied easily?
@manton please definitely do that. That would be much appreciated. In Germany, bloggers are required to display all data that the website collects about a visitor.
@flowinho 👍 Until then, the short answer is we don't collect much. We log IP address and in some cases there is a cookie if someone is already signed in to Micro.blog. We'll have to figure out how to write this up more formally.
@manton well, exactly cookies are the most pressing part. European GDPR and Cooke Consents are very unforgiving.
@flowinho If you want to avoid cookies completely, you can uncheck the "Include conversation" feature (off by default), and use a theme that doesn't include your profile photo (or edit a theme to not use Micro.blog's photo). With those disabled, Micro.blog doesn't set any cookies for hosted blogs. Basically, the default is no cookies.
