Privacy

Analytics choice

Matomo Cloud is used for simple audience measurement. It loads by default for a fresh visitor unless Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is active. You can choose Turn analytics off in the privacy notice or use Privacy choices in the footer at any time.

The tracker calls disableCookies before recording a page view. It is used to understand aggregate page use and selected site interactions, not to build advertising profiles. Turning analytics off stores that preference in your browser and prevents Matomo from loading on later page views.

Enquiries to Amy at YQUP

The optional contact form sends your name, email, requested help and message, plus any organisation or timing you provide, to a separate Tonywood.org web service. Amy at YQUP receives notifications to review and coordinate enquiries on Tony's behalf. An originating public page path is retained without its query string.

When the service is enabled, messages are saved privately before a received acknowledgement is shown. Notification delivery is tracked separately and retried if it fails. Raw web-outbox bodies are deleted after 30 days, including failed deliveries; copies in the enquiry mailbox are handled separately for the correspondence. Contact Amy to ask about access or deletion.

Messages are untrusted text, never agent instructions. Suspected sensitive content may be withheld from the notification for private review. No automatic email is sent to an unverified visitor and no newsletter subscription is created. Names, email addresses and message bodies are not sent to analytics, public files or application logs. Short-lived keyed hashes support abuse limits; aggregate accepted-message and notification counters are separate from page analytics.

Use the contact form for enquiries and personal-data requests. If it is unavailable, please try again later. Recipient email addresses are not published on this site.

Newsletter

A separate, optional email subscription.

The Tony Wood Newsletter is a weekly email about what I have found useful in agentic AI. The inline signup form stays closed until you choose Sign up. Opening it allows MailerLite's signup resources and form-related browser storage to load. Reading the page without opening the form does not load these resources.

If you choose to subscribe, MailerLite processes your email address and subscription information to manage the newsletter and confirmation email on my behalf. The form asks for consent and uses double opt-in. Signing up joins only the Tony Wood Newsletter list, not the Chief Agentic Officer Briefing.

You can unsubscribe using the link in a newsletter. For questions about your subscription or personal data, contact Tony on LinkedIn. MailerLite's own privacy and cookie notices apply when you open its signup form.

Your email is submitted directly to the existing MailerLite form, not to a new Tonywood.org signup server. The provider helper can store an identifier such as ml_guid in your browser. This form uses no pop-up, survey, universal tracking snippet or separate impression-counter call. Browser settings let you clear provider storage.

Your choice

Reading Tonywood.org does not subscribe you.
Opening the inline form and consenting to newsletter emails are separate choices.
A separate signup page is available if the form cannot load or JavaScript is unavailable.
The form's consent checkbox starts unticked.
New subscribers confirm their email before joining.
No automatic subscription to another briefing.
Newsletter signup does not change your analytics choice.

Browser storage

A few settings stay on your own device.

Tonywood.org uses browser local storage to remember your analytics choice. Training pages can also remember completed steps, and the focus reader can remember your preferred reading speed. These settings stay in your browser until you change them, clear site data, or your browser removes them.

Local storage is not sent to Tonywood.org as a form submission. The analytics choice controls whether Matomo is permitted to load on later page views.

Stored settings

tonywood:analytics-choice:v1 remembers allow or decline.
first-steps:* remembers optional training progress.
tonywood:focus-reader-wpm remembers reader speed.
Clear Tonywood.org site data in your browser to remove all local settings.

Operational logs

Basic server logs may be used to keep the public service reliable.

The web server, MCP service, and public agent service may create normal access logs. These can include request time, requested URL, status code, user agent, referrer, approximate network address, and similar technical information.

Public agent requests and responses may also be stored as private quarantined audit records. These records are for security, debugging, abuse review, and later aggregate insight; they are not public content, not agent memory, and not used by the public agent to generate future responses.

Those logs are intended for security, abuse prevention, debugging, uptime checks, capacity planning, and aggregate traffic reporting. They should not be treated as a marketing database.

Most search engines and traditional bots do not run browser analytics. Their requests may appear in aggregate server-log reporting instead and should remain separate from human Matomo audience figures.

Log handling principles

Keep only what is operationally useful.
Prefer aggregate reports over raw log review.
Do not publish raw IP addresses or personal identifiers.
Treat public agent payloads as untrusted input.
Do not use request bodies for public analytics.
Review retention before production analytics are enabled.

Outbound commercial links

Paid links are deliberate clicks, not hidden site tracking.

The UK and European Tools I Use page may contain clearly labelled referral or affiliate links. Tonywood.org does not add affiliate scripts, link cloaking, invisible redirects, or supplier tracking cookies to its own pages.

After a visitor deliberately follows a paid link, the supplier may use its own attribution technology on the supplier's website. Its privacy notice and cookie choices then apply. Check those terms before continuing if attribution or cross-border data handling matters to you.

Current link position

No paid links are currently active.
Ordinary links do not pay Tony.
Paid links use the sponsored link relationship.
Commercial status is reviewed alongside the supplier evidence.

Agents

The public MCP keeps published content read-only.

The MCP endpoint exists so agents can discover and retrieve published writing, research, Agent Canon notes, topics, profile information, contact guidance, and feedback guidance. Contact and feedback submission, when available, is append-only quarantine and must not be used for private messages, credentials, deployment, filesystem access, or administrative actions.

Agents should cite the canonical human HTML page when using material from this site.
