Read this before you follow any outbound link on this site: the page you land on next keeps its own separate record of your visit, and this policy only covers what happens on this domain. What follows describes the mechanisms this build actually uses, in plain terms, and nothing beyond that.
What Gets Noted When You Arrive From a Search Engine
When a visit arrives from a search engine, this site notes the page path, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine, and the text of any outbound button that gets clicked. This only happens for search-engine arrivals; other visits are not logged in this way. The purpose is limited to counting page views and outbound clicks for the operator's own traffic figures, and the data is used for nothing else. It is stored in the operator's own logs on this domain, not passed to an outside analytics service.
How a Short-Lived Cookie and a Session Flag Work
A single first-party cookie is set only when a visit arrives from a search engine. It holds nothing but the name of that search engine, lasts for up to one hour, and exists so that a later click on an outbound link can be matched to the search engine that brought you here. Separately, a flag is kept in the browser for the current session only, so that a single page view is counted once rather than multiple times. Neither of these stores a persistent identifier, and no other browser storage is set.
What the Hosting Infrastructure Sees
This site is a set of static files served by a content delivery network. As the hosting provider, the network processes the technical data of every request, including the country it reports for that request. Nothing more precise about location is collected. Every file a page needs comes from this domain, so no outside host receives data while a page is being displayed.
Why Outbound Links Do Not Share Your Stored Visit Data
Outbound links first go to a path on this domain and are then redirected to the partner site. The stored visit data described above is not handed to that partner as part of this redirect. Once the redirect completes, the partner site receives your request directly from your browser and keeps its own separate record of it. This site has no control over what a partner site does with that request, since the partner operates independently once you land there.
What This Site Does Not Do
There are no forms anywhere on this site, so there is no channel here for submitting a name, an e-mail address, or any other personal detail. There is no third-party analytics service reading your visit, no external subresource loaded from another domain while a page renders, and no contact channel of any kind on this site. No login, registration, or account exists, and no personal data such as names, account identifiers, or payment details is collected or retained about any individual visitor. These absences are the reason this site does not ask for consent, an account, or any personal detail: there is simply no mechanism here that would need them.
