Privacy Policy

Last updated 2 August 2026

Cogway is a static website with no accounts, no login, and no database. It handles as little personal data as possible. This policy explains what it does handle and your rights over it.

Who is responsible

The data controller is Alberto Arena, an individual based in Italy, reachable at [email protected].

What data we handle

Analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (pages viewed, approximate region, device type). IP addresses are anonymised. We cannot identify you from it. If you decline cookies, none of this is collected. See the Cookie Policy.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, we store the email address you give us to send occasional emails when a new explainer ships. This is handled by MailerLite on our behalf. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, which deletes you from the list.

Email you send us

If you email us, we keep that correspondence to reply to you and for nothing else.

Legal basis

  • Consent for analytics cookies and for the newsletter.
  • Legitimate interest in replying when you contact us.

Who processes it for us

  • Google (Analytics and Tag Manager), as a data processor. It collects nothing about you until you consent, though loading its script does disclose your IP address to Google. The Cookie Policy spells this out.
  • MailerLite (newsletter delivery), if you subscribe.
  • Netsons (hosting, Italy) and Cloudflare (DNS and CDN).

How long we keep it

Analytics data follows Google's retention settings. Your newsletter subscription is kept until you unsubscribe. Emails you send are kept only as long as needed to deal with them.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can, at any time:

  • ask what data we hold about you, and get a copy;
  • have it corrected or erased;
  • withdraw consent, using Cookie settings in the footer of any page, or the unsubscribe link in any email;
  • object to processing, or ask us to restrict it;
  • lodge a complaint with the Italian supervisory authority (the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

To exercise any of these, email [email protected].

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it.

New explainer, one email

When a new Laravel or PHP explainer ships, get a heads-up. No spam, unsubscribe anytime. Your address is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

The form is hosted by MailerLite and sets its own cookies, so it loads once you accept. Accepting here turns on analytics too, exactly as the cookie banner does. See the Cookie Policy.

Cogway

Interactive explainers for Laravel and PHP. One concept at a time, turned into something you can step through, break, and run again.

We use cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how the explainers are used, and accepting also loads the newsletter form, which sets its own. No advertising and no profiling. Cookie Policy
