Privacy: the website
What the site learns about visits, what it keeps in your browser, and how to turn it off.
| What | Why | How to turn it off |
|---|---|---|
| Yandex Metrica — visits, where you came from, device and browser, approximate region; a recording of actions on the page (scrolling, clicks) without typed text | To understand how the site is read and what to improve | Metrica opt-out, an ad blocker, blocking cookies |
| Google Analytics — the same; in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland only after you press “Allow” in the banner; the banner is also shown to anyone Google places in these countries by their connection address (for example, over a VPN) | To cross-check the two counters and see the overall picture | GA opt-out add-on, “No, thanks” in the banner, blocking cookies |
| Actions on the page — clicks on “Download” and “Thank the author”, visits to my profiles, whether a text was read to the end, reactions to a few playful design details, the page and browser languages | To see whether the pages do their job and which translations are missing | The same as the counters above |
Both services keep data under their own rules: Yandex, Google. Data may be processed on these services’ servers in different countries.
In your browser
- Your theme, your choice in the Google Analytics banner and your scores in the Wheel of Life template are kept only in this browser and are never sent anywhere.
- Some design settings (for example, whether a seasonal decoration is turned off) and marks for the easter eggs you’ve found (shown in the Easter eggs section) are kept in this browser too, and a few small markers live only until you close the tab; they are never sent anywhere.
- Webvisor doesn’t record the wheel or its fields; the counters only see a click on “Print” or “Download”.
- To erase everything at once, clear this site’s data in your browser settings.
Donations
donatr.ee and CloudTips are separate services with their own rules; I never receive your payment details.
