Privacy

Not on this site

No cookies. No pixels. No visitor ID. No ad network. No third-party analytics. Nothing stored in your browser. No banner, because there is nothing to accept.

What I count

Daily totals, one number per thing. A visit leaves no row of its own, so I can't tell two visits apart or follow anyone.

• Page views, once a page has been on screen for a second, and the addresses of pages that don't exist.
• The site you came from, or the utm_source in the link.
• The country of the visit.
• Phone, tablet or desktop.
• How far down a page you got, which headings you reached, how long the page stayed open.
• What gets pressed: downloads, copied chart links, table sorts, share buttons, contact links, marked controls, links out.
• Bots, apart from people: the name a bot gives, such as a search engine or an AI crawler, and the pages it fetched. A browser driven by software counts as a bot.

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, I count nothing. Totals are kept, because they describe no one.

The bid request

The home page builds a bid request from what your browser already exposes. It is computed in your tab and never leaves it.

Who else sees what

The site runs on Cloudflare, which sees your IP address the way any host does. See its privacy policy. My code uses the IP for a moment to limit abuse of the counter, then forgets it. I don't store it.
