The promise
No cookies. No JavaScript tracking. No third-party analytics.
Nothing about your visit is sent to any other company, and nothing is shared or sold. The pages don't phone home.
POLICY
How your visit is handled
Plain English. Last reviewed 2026-06-04.
What's recorded
What the server records
Like every web server, it keeps short-lived access logs. For each request that means:
- the page requested
- the time of the request
- the referring link, if any
- the browser type
- a truncated IP address — the last part is removed, so it identifies a country, not a person
From these, only aggregate, country-level visit counts are kept. Per-visitor IP detail is disabled.
Why & legal basis
Why this is collected
To keep the site running and secure, and to see roughly which guides get read and from where.

No consent banner is needed because there are no cookies and no client-side tracking.
Retention
How long anything is kept
Raw logs are rotated and deleted within about 7 days. Only the anonymized aggregates are kept longer.
Nothing to act on
Nothing to opt out of
Because what's recorded is anonymized and only ever aggregated, there's no personal record here to access, correct, or delete — and nothing to opt out of.
The only time a full IP address exists is the split-second, in-memory rate-limit check that keeps the site up; it is never written to a log or stored. That's the whole point of building it this way.
When this site says "no tracking," it means no client-side tracking and no cookies. The only record is anonymized, short-lived server logs.
