Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 21, 2026
Welcome to evangelosc.site. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit this website.
1. Information We Collect
This is a personal portfolio website. We collect minimal data:
- Cookie Consent Preferences: We store your cookie consent choices in your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences across visits.
- Contact Communications: When you contact us via email or Discord, we receive your message and any personal information you choose to include (such as your name and email address). This data is used to respond to your inquiry. These communications are retained indefinitely as standard correspondence history within our respective platforms (e.g., Google/Gmail and Discord), just like normal conversational chats.
- Third-Party Service Data: If you choose to play embedded YouTube videos, YouTube/Google may collect data about your interaction as described in their privacy policy. We do not receive or store this data ourselves.
- Security Event Logs: We maintain privacy-first security logs to protect our website
from attacks. These logs contain no personal data — no IP addresses, no user agents,
no referrers, and no cookies. We only log: event type (e.g., "404 error"), timestamp, and the requested
page path. This helps us detect and respond to security threats without compromising your privacy.
These logs are automatically pruned so that entries older than 30 days are deleted on every
request cycle.
For maximum transparency, here is an example of exactly what a log entry looks like:{"timestamp":"2026-02-21T07:18:29+00:00","event":"404_NOT_FOUND","message":"Page not found","path":"/favicon.ico","method":"GET","context":{"requested_path":"/favicon.ico"}}
We do not use analytics tools, tracking pixels, advertising networks, or any other data collection mechanisms beyond those listed above.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. Cookies are files with small amounts of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

- To provide and maintain our website
