Who we are

This website is operated by Alessandra Di Lorenzo, an author, speaker, and educator based in London, United Kingdom. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at thisisadjust@gmail.com.

What data we collect

When you visit this website, we may collect the following information automatically:

  • Your approximate location (city and country), derived from your IP address
  • The time and date of your visit
  • Which links or buttons you click
  • Your browser type and referral source

Your IP address is anonymised before storage (the final octet is removed). We do not store your full IP address.

Why we collect it

We use this data solely to understand how visitors engage with the website — which topics resonate, how people navigate, and where our audience is located. This helps us improve the content and focus our work. We do not use it for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose.

Cookies

This website uses a small number of first party cookies. These are set by us directly — not by third party advertising or tracking services.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

The Newsletter

The internet doesn't explain itself.

I do.

A clear, intelligent guide to how digital systems really work — algorithms, advertising, AI, and the invisible forces shaping what you see, think, and buy. No hype. No jargon. Just clarity.

No spam, ever. Unsubscribe anytime.

Di Lorenzo lifts the curtain on digital persuasion with wit, candour and practical hacks. I finished feeling smarter, not scared.
