Privacy Policy
How we analyse and understand website traffic
Privacy-First Analytics
We measure overall traffic trends, not individual visitors. To protect your privacy, we do not use cookies, collect personal data, or track you across devices or websites. All data is isolated to a single day and device, ensuring every measurement is anonymous.
What We Collect
We collect only essential data points:
Page URL: Which pages are viewed and how often (hostname and path only, query parameters discarded except UTM parameters)Referrer: Where visitors came from (categorized as direct, internal, external, search engine, or AI assistant)Browser and Device: Derived from User-Agent header, then immediately discardedOperating System: Derived from User-Agent header, then immediately discarded
What we do NOT collect or store:
IP addresses (never stored in database or logs)User-Agent strings (never stored in database or logs)Cookies or local storagePersonal identifiersCross-site tracking data
How We Count Unique Visitors
We generate a daily-changing identifier using a hash function.
This function creates a random string used to calculate unique visitors for that day only. The raw IP address and User-Agent are never stored anywhere.
Privacy protection:
Salts automatically rotate every 24 hoursNo cross-day visitor linking is possibleOriginal IP addresses cannot be recovered
Data Retention
Raw page view events are stored for up to 2 daysAdministrators of a site cannot view raw page view eventsAfter each day, data is automatically aggregated into daily statisticsDaily aggregates are kept for historical reportingIndividual page views older than 2 days are automatically deleted
This ensures no long-term event-level data exists and no cross-day visitor linkage is possible.
Your Rights
You own 100% of your data. We will never sell or share your data with third parties. Your data is not sent to advertising companies, not mined for behavioral trends, and not monetized.
You can request deletion of your data at any time. All data will be permanently deleted immediately and cannot be recovered.
GDPR and Cookie Law Compliance
