Privacy & visitor counting

This independent, fan-run site counts visits to learn which stories and photos readers enjoy. The traffic dashboard is private to the site owner.

For this visitor counter, we store a random browser identifier, page path, time of visit, and the referring website’s domain when available. We do not store your name, email address, IP address, precise location, or a referring link’s query or page path in the analytics database. Hosting providers may maintain their own operational logs.

A random identifier is saved in your browser’s local storage for up to one year. It helps distinguish repeat page views from new visitors. We use no advertising cookies, and do not sell analytics data. Visit records remain available to the site owner for reviewing traffic over time.

You can exclude this browser below. We also skip counting when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Clearing browser storage resets this choice and the random identifier. Blocking scripts or browser storage can prevent counting.

Your choice applies to future visits on this browser. It does not remove earlier anonymous records. You can use the entire site either way.
