- What
- The page seen, the time, whether the browser was a phone or a computer, the country the host passes along, and a rolling pseudonym. The pseudonym is a one-way hash of a secret, the day, your IP address and your browser string. Your IP address itself is never written down, and the secret is replaced every night, so two days of counting cannot be joined back together into a person.
- Why
- To see how many people come, which pages they read, and whether the site works. Nothing is sent to Google or to anyone else — the counting is done by the site itself and the numbers never leave it.
- What allows it
- Not personal data once the pseudonym is rolled and the address is discarded, and nothing is stored on your device, so no consent is required and none is asked for. If that ever changes, this page changes first.
- How long
- A little over a year, then deleted.
