- **Cloudflare Web Analytics / RUM** — cookieless page-performance measurement
at the CDN edge. It stores no identifiers in your browser.

The site's footer also embeds Google's **Preferred Sources** button
(`news.google.com/swg/js/v1/publisher.js`), which lets a signed-in reader mark
markdownstudio.dev as a preferred source in their own Google Search settings.
It is a Google-hosted widget, so loading it tells Google the page was viewed,
and it is governed by [Google's privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
It sets nothing itself unless you click it, and it is not used for measurement.

P2 Badge Update the privacy policy revision date

This adds a new third-party data disclosure while the policy header still says Last updated: July 13, 2026. Because the widget was added on August 26, readers cannot reliably determine whether they have seen the current privacy terms; update the revision date alongside this disclosure.

<!-- Google Preferred Sources button (news.google.com/swg/js/v1/publisher.js).
Two lines per Google's docs: this loader, plus the
[google-add-preferred-source-btn] element in the footer. The button lets a
signed-in reader mark markdownstudio.dev as a preferred source, which
surfaces this site more often in their Google Search "Top stories" and
Preferred sources results. The script renders and localises the button
itself; it draws nothing if the API is unavailable, so the footer simply
stays empty rather than breaking. -->
