Privacy policy
Last updated 24 October 2026
This site is a set of static pages. It has no forms and no accounts, and you are not asked to enter anything. It does measure visits, and that part uses cookies.
Measuring visits
Visits are measured with Google Analytics. It places two cookies in your browser,
_ga and _ga_W8QE41T40G, and they last up to two years. The first holds
a random identifier for the browser, so repeat visits from the same browser are counted as one
visitor rather than several. It is not linked to a name. Google holds the data on its servers,
which are outside the UAE, and processes it on our instructions.
What it records is which pages opened, which of them were scrolled to the bottom, clicks on links that lead elsewhere, plays of the YouTube video embedded on the inflight series page, which site or message referred you, and your browser and device type. Your IP address is used to estimate a location, city level at best, and is not stored. No name, email address, or anything else that identifies you personally is sent, because the site never asks for any.
The reason it is here is narrow. The inflight series page is a proposal sent to a small number of organisations, and this is how we see whether it was read to the bottom.
Event data is kept for two months. Data tied to the browser identifier is kept for fourteen months, counted from that browser's most recent visit.
On a first visit, a notice asks for a choice. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, this measurement stays off unless it is accepted. Everywhere else it runs unless it is declined. The choice is remembered in the browser and can be changed here.
Blocking it works. A tracker-blocking extension, or Google's official opt-out extension, stops this measurement and changes nothing else. Blocking third-party requests stops it too, and also stops the typefaces and the embedded players described below from loading, so those pages fall back to a system font and show no player.
Embedded players
The inflight series page embeds one YouTube video and two Spotify episodes. When these players load, YouTube and Spotify each receive your IP address and may set their own cookies.
The speaker pages embed videos from Vimeo. Opening one of those pages loads the Vimeo player, which receives your IP address and sets its own cookies, including security cookies from Cloudflare, the service Vimeo uses (__cf_bm, cf_clearance and __cf_ob).
What YouTube, Spotify and Vimeo do with this information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.
Do Not Track
Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. This site does not change how it works in response to that signal. Google Analytics runs under Google Consent Mode and follows the choice made in the cookie notice, which can be changed at any time with the "Change my cookie choice" button above.
Google (through Google Analytics and Google Fonts), Vimeo, YouTube and Spotify may collect information about your online activity on this site and on other websites over time, under their own privacy policies. This site does not control that collection.
Links sent directly
A link sent to a particular organisation may carry a short tag, so we can see which invitation was opened. The tag identifies the link, not you.
Hosting logs
The pages are served by Netlify, and the hosting service keeps technical logs of each request: IP address, browser type and the time of the visit. Those logs are part of running any site on the internet. They are not used here to track individuals.
Fonts
Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your IP address reaches Google when a page opens. Blocking third-party requests in your browser prevents that.
Getting in touch
Contact happens by email or WhatsApp. Whatever you write stays in that inbox or in WhatsApp. It is not passed to this site.
This site is not a place for therapy
This site does not provide psychotherapy and collects no health information. Contacting Hanouf through it does not create a clinical relationship and is not a substitute for consulting a qualified professional.
In an emergency, go to your nearest emergency service or call your local emergency number.
Changes to this page
If how the site works changes, this page changes with it. The date above is the last revision.
