Check and document what library is being used and if CDN are considered trackers #11

EFF Privacy Badger flagged the blog with a potential tracker: cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Ideally, I want no trackers or minimize the number of potential trackers (i.e. reason for migration).

Check what package it is from, see if it can be removed or be self-hosted. Look into this reddit post to see what the opinions are. I am doubting this is a tracker but would be good to document where it's coming from.

CDN is for MathJax. There's a self-hosted method but I need to figure out a way to get it working since it's not rendering all the symbols from my initial attempt.

A suggestion is to create layouts and make sure layouts that need mathjax use the library and those that don't don't reference the library.

Approach

Created [privacy page](zakuarbor.github.io/blog/
Explain that MathJax and other 3rd party embedded iframes may use trackers and cookies
Separated blog posts to use the layouts they need (i.e. programming blogs usually don't need MathJax so they'll use the default template)
