Privacy
If you're wondering who can see what you read here, the short answer is Cloudflare, which runs the site and counts page views without cookies, and Google Analytics, but only if you say yes.
This page explains what Arcana Mentis does with information and what it doesn't do. We'll update it before any new kind of collection starts.
Who we are
Arcana Mentis is an educational site about caring for your own mind. Its address is https://www.arcanamentis.com. The site isn't a clinic, and it doesn't diagnose, treat, or take the place of a clinician. It's independent of any other project.
Cloudflare
The site is served through Cloudflare. Like most hosting, Cloudflare keeps server and access logs as it delivers the pages. A log entry can include an IP address, your browser's user agent (a short label naming your browser and device), the address of the page requested, and the time.
Cloudflare also adds Cloudflare Web Analytics to every page, a small script loaded from static.cloudflareinsights.com. It counts page views and measures how fast pages load. It sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, and doesn't follow you from site to site, so it runs without asking on the banner.
Google Analytics
This site also uses Google Analytics 4 to learn which pages people read and how they find the site, so we can make the writing better. If you agree, Google Analytics collects the pages you view, your approximate location, and information about your device and browser, and it sets cookies in your browser to tell one visit from another.
It doesn't run until you agree. On your first visit, a small consent banner asks you, and Cloudflare delivers that banner and the Google Analytics tag for us through a Cloudflare tool called Zaraz. Until you accept, the tag doesn't load and none of its cookies are set. If you decline, it stays off. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal (a privacy setting some browsers offer), the site treats that as a no and doesn't ask. Your browser keeps your banner choice in a small cookie, so you aren't asked on every page.
Google processes the data. We've turned off Google's advertising features, so the data isn't used for ad personalization.
You can change your mind at any time. If that button doesn't respond, clear the cookies and site data for arcanamentis.com in your browser settings, and the banner will ask again on your next visit. You can also install Google's Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops Google Analytics on any site.
What the site doesn't have
The site has no advertising networks, no advertising cookies, no mailing list, no checkout, no user accounts, and no file uploads. So we don't keep a reader list, a purchase history, uploaded files, or accounts, and we don't sell reader information. If a vendor or a new cookie is ever added, this page will name it and its purpose before it's switched on.
AI
Pages on this site are drafted and edited with help from AI writing tools. Arcana Mentis has no AI chat for readers, so nothing collects your messages and no reader prompts are stored.
Contact and requests
There's no public inbox yet. When an address exists, privacy questions will go through the contact page. Since the site doesn't collect uploads or keep accounts, there's nothing to delete or close today. If that ever changes, this page will explain how to make a request first.
Children
Arcana Mentis isn't directed at children under 13. In the spirit of the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we don't knowingly collect personal information from children, and the site has no children's account, form, or upload that could gather it. A parent or guardian with a concern can write to us once a public inbox exists.
Mental-health content
The writing here about depression, loneliness, meditation, and the other rooms is educational. It isn't therapy or treatment. Never stop a prescribed medicine because of a page on this site, and talk with a clinician about any change in care.
If you're in crisis in the United States, call or text 988, or go to 988lifeline.org. Please don't send a crisis to a contact page that can't answer.
Changes
This page will be updated before any new vendor or any new kind of collection starts, so it matches the site as it actually is.
