I don’t want your data. I don’t collect your data. You should not get any cookies while visiting this website, there are no analytics, and I have access logging disabled when not debugging technical issues. I don’t set cookies, I don’t use JavaScript, and there are no forms.
However, if you’re using HTTP to access my site instead of HTTPS, you won’t be automatically redirected to the “secure” version for the following reasons:
- this site is completely non-interactive and does not request user data or handle payments
- old computers and browsers can’t use modern TLS or SSL, and thus can’t access the web over HTTPS
- forcibly redirecting to HTTPS might please Google, but I’m not playing the SEO game any longer
- if your government or ISP has a problem with you reading my bullshit, you’ve got bigger problems than my reluctance to make you use the “correct” protocol “for your own good”
If you want to be automatically redirected to the HTTPS version of a website when you request the HTTP version by mistake, the Electronic Frontier Foundation maintains the HTTPS Everywhere extension for that purpose.
