This page describes the behavior visible in the site's current local source code. It is meant to make that behavior understandable, not to make promises about services operated by other organizations.

The visit counter

Some pages load /assets/js/analytics.js. When loaded, that script turns the current page path into a counter key and requests the hit endpoint at api.countapi.xyz. It reads the returned visit value and writes that value to the browser's developer console.

After a successful response, the script adds an image saying “You are visitor number …”. The image is loaded from img.shields.io, so showing the badge creates a second request to that service. If the CountAPI request fails, the script logs an error and does not create the badge.

This privacy page does not load the visit-counter script.

What the local script stores

The local counter script contains no code that sets cookies or writes to local or session storage. It sends the site namespace and transformed page path in the CountAPI request URL. As with ordinary web requests, the external services can receive connection and request information supplied by the browser. Their handling and retention of that information are outside this site's local code.

Notes and project pages may link to other websites. Following one of those links takes you to a service with its own practices and policies.
