Privacy & traffic

This website counts eligible public pageviews and aggregate homepage link exposures and activations to understand which content is useful. Reloads and route changes can count separately; these totals are not unique visitors.

The application analytics stores daily page totals, daily counts for the header Email, footer Email and Research links by fixed page version, and collection timestamps. On each collected event, it removes the corresponding daily totals older than the current 90-UTC-day window. Older totals may remain longer while the site is inactive; they are removed on the next collected event. No independent retention scheduler runs.

A link exposure means at least half of a link appeared in a visible viewport; activation means a trusted click or keyboard activation. Email activations do not establish that a message was sent. Blog reading and activity on the external blog are not measured here.

The application analytics does not store visitor identifiers, IP addresses, request headers, referrers, query strings or individual event histories. The counter adds no analytics cookies and uses no third-party analytics service.

Collection respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Private pages, preview hosts, known bots and signed-in owner visits are excluded. Browser blocking and network failures affect coverage. Hosting-provider logs are separate from this counter.

Site appearance preferences may be saved locally in your browser. They are separate from traffic counting.
