This site counts visits from search engines only

When a visitor arrives from a search engine, this site records the page path, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine and the text of any clicked outbound button. This happens only for that kind of arrival, not for every visit. The purpose is limited to counting page views and clicks on outbound buttons, and the data is used for nothing beyond that traffic count.

A short-lived cookie links a click back to its search engine

One first-party cookie is set, and only when the visit came from a search engine. It holds nothing but the name of that search engine, lasts for up to one hour, and exists so a later click on an outbound link can be tied back to the search engine that sent the visitor. No other browser storage and no persistent identifier are set.

A session flag stops a page view being counted twice

A single flag is kept in the browser for the current session. Its only job is to make sure one page view is counted once rather than several times while that session continues. It carries no personal detail and is not a tracking identifier.

Location and hosting data stay coarse

The content delivery network that serves this site's static files reports the country the request came from, and nothing more precise about where a visitor is. That network handles the technical delivery of every page as the hosting provider, and the recorded visit data is kept in the operator's own logs on this domain.

Outbound links redirect through this domain, then leave it

An outbound link first opens a path on this domain before redirecting to the partner site. Stored visit data is not shared with that partner as part of this redirect. Once the visitor lands on the partner site, that site receives the request directly from the browser and keeps its own separate record, which this page has no part in and no control over.

What this site does not do

This site has no forms, no third-party analytics, no external subresources loaded from other domains, and no contact channel of any kind. It does not collect names, e-mail addresses, account identifiers or payment details, and it has no login, registration or user account. It does not share visitor data with advertising networks, data brokers or outside analytics services, and it uses no third-party or advertising cookies. Because of these absences, the site asks for no consent banner, no account and no personal detail beyond the limited, short-lived visit data described above. Readers should treat any partner site reached through an outbound link as a separate destination with its own separate record-keeping, and should not submit personal data expecting this static page to handle it.
