What you never have to give
There is no sign-in on this site and no account to create. Nothing is behind an email form. Nothing is behind a paywall. You can read every article, every saint's life, every chapter of Scripture and every prayer without identifying yourself in any way.
Cookies
This site sets none. Not for analytics, not for preferences, not for anything. If you check your browser's cookie list after visiting, it will be empty for this domain.
The one thing that does measure you
Every page loads a small script from static.cloudflareinsights.com.
That is Cloudflare Web Analytics, and it is how many people are
reading, which pages they reach, and how quickly the pages load.
It was worth saying plainly rather than describing this site as one that "does not track you" — which is what this page used to imply — because a beacon that reports to a third party is a measurement whatever its design, and a site whose whole claim is accuracy should not make an exception for its own copy.
What it records, according to Cloudflare's own documentation:
- the page you are on and the page that referred you
- your country, derived from the network you connect through
- your browser and operating system, in broad terms
- page-load timings
What it does not do:
- set a cookie, or store anything in your browser
- use a fingerprint to recognise you on a later visit
- follow you to any other website
- record your IP address in the analytics data
- build a profile, or sell anything to anyone
Cloudflare describes the product as privacy-first and says it does not collect personal data from visitors. You can read that for yourself: Cloudflare Web Analytics documentation. If you would rather not be counted at all, any content blocker will stop the script, and the site works exactly the same without it.
Server logs
The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps its own short-term operational records — the ordinary business of running a web server and turning away attacks. Those are Cloudflare's, not mine, and I do not export them or combine them with anything.
If you write to info@mealsforthesoul.com the message reaches a mailbox run by Zoho on Canadian servers, and it is read by one person. Corrections are kept so that the fix can be checked later. Nothing is added to a mailing list — there is no mailing list — and no address is passed on to anyone.
What is hosted elsewhere
Pages here link out to other sites: to Cloudflare's documentation above, to the scanned books the prayers and Scripture are taken from, to archives and to church websites. Following a link puts you on somebody else's site under somebody else's terms. Nothing is embedded from anywhere else — no fonts, no videos, no share buttons, no comment system — so simply reading a page here contacts no one but Cloudflare.
Children
Nothing here is collected from anyone, of any age, beyond what is described above.

Something here inaccurate? That is worth knowing about more than almost anything else on the site. Tell me and it gets fixed.
