Privacy

This site counts how its pages and films are used, so I can make it better. It counts totals, never people: there is nothing here that could tell me who you are or follow you around.

Your choice

You can switch measurement off for this browser at any time, free, and switch it back on here.

To exclude this browser without JavaScript, visit allanraffel.com/?off once it has loaded with JavaScript on.

The choice is kept in this browser only, so set it on each browser and device you use. A private window, or clearing this site's data, forgets it. A VPN or iCloud Private Relay makes no difference. Visiting allanraffel.com/?off switches it off in one step, and browsers that send Global Privacy Control are never measured.

What is counted

How many times each page is viewed, which page a visit starts on, and which page leads to which.
How long a page is actively in view: only while it is on screen and being used, or a film is playing.
On the homepage, which sections are reached, and how often the controls are used (the capability tabs, the formats, the planets).
For films: how often each is opened and started, how much of it actually plays (in 5 second steps), whether the sound is on, and whether it is watched to the end.
The country a page is requested from, as Cloudflare reports it. A region or city is shown only when at least ten requests over whole weeks share it, and the count is rounded; otherwise it is counted as “other”.

What is never collected

No cookies, no identifiers and nothing else stored on your device for measurement. The only thing ever stored is your choice to switch it off.
No IP address is stored (not even scrambled), and there is no device or browser fingerprint, no network or company name and no precise location.
No recordings, no mouse movement, nothing you type. The contact page is never measured, and neither is anything you send through it.
No individual visits: each report only adds to a total for the day, so no history of a visit exists to look at.
No analytics companies: the measurement runs on this site's own server, and nothing is shared or sold. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, handles each request on its way through, as any host does.

Why, and for how long

The purpose is to understand how the site is used and improve it: which work people look at, whether the films are watched, where the pages lose people. The legal basis is legitimate interests, for statistics only, with this notice and the switch above as the way to object.

Daily totals are kept for 25 months; region and city totals for 13 weeks. Then they are deleted.
