Privacy
Last updated 1 July 2026
Wish Me Coffee is a small hobby project — a Telegram bot (@wish_me_coffee_bot) and this little website. This note explains what the website does with data. Short version: as little as possible.
Analytics & cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to see anonymous, aggregate usage — which pages get visited, roughly which region, what kind of device. It runs only after you press "Accept" on the cookie banner. Until then, Google Consent Mode keeps it cookieless and anonymous. Once you accept, Google sets a _ga analytics cookie and your IP address is anonymized. Your choice is remembered in your browser (a wmc-consent entry in local storage) so you're not asked again.
What we don't do
No accounts, no advertising, no selling or sharing of your data, no cross-site tracking. The website never asks for your name or email.
Server data
Our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, page) briefly for security and operation. A simple visitor counter stores IP addresses only as a one-way hash — never the raw address.
Third parties
Google Analytics and Google Fonts are provided by Google; their handling of data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
Your choices
You can decline analytics at any time, or clear your browser's site data / local storage to reset your choice and be asked again. Because analytics stay off until you opt in, we don't override any "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control preference. If you're in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA) you have rights over your personal data — though this website holds essentially none tied to you.
The Telegram bot
Using the bot is separate and also governed by Telegram's privacy policy. To function, the bot stores your Telegram user ID and the preferences you set (language, character, timezone, schedule). It doesn't read your messages or contacts.
