First-party visitor statistics
By default, we use first-party visitor statistics to understand how people find and use this website. You can opt out at any time through Analytics preferences. The browser stores a random visitor identifier and a visit identifier; we retain a keyed hash of the visitor identifier rather than the original value. Reports include page paths, landing pages, referring domains, approximate country, page counts and engaged time. Search phrases are recorded only when a recognised search engine supplies them; ordinary page query strings and full referral URLs are not retained.
Country is looked up locally from the IP address associated with the request. We do not store that visitor IP address in the statistics records or send it to an external geolocation service. Country estimates can be affected by VPNs and database coverage.
The browser visitor identifier expires after one year; a new visit begins after 30 minutes without activity. The analytics choice is remembered for 180 days. Statistics records are retained for 400 days. Time measurements use visible-page heartbeats and pause after five minutes without interaction. These are approximate browser-based statistics, not a record of verified individuals.
Use Analytics preferences at the bottom of the page and select Opt out of visitor statistics to stop collection and remove its browser identifiers. You can enable statistics again there. Your preference is remembered for 180 days. Existing rejections are respected when upgrading. Google Analytics has a separate opt-in setting and is not enabled by default. Previously recorded statistics remain subject to the retention period. Clearing browser storage or using another device may cause a new visitor to be counted.
