Privacy

No cookies. No accounts. First-party analytics only.

This site sets no cookies, requires no account and shows no ads. We run one first-party analytics instance (Matomo, hosted on our own server stats.ali.as) with cookies disabled - no cross-site identifiers, nothing shared with third parties. Ad networks and analytics pixels are not loaded.

What is stored

Page requests are counted as anonymous first-party visit counts. For each HTML page view we store: the page path, a visitor identifier hashed from your IP address with a server-side secret salt (not reversible without the salt, which never leaves the server), the response status, browser family, operating system family and device type parsed from your browser's user-agent string, the page language your browser sends, and the host and truncated URL of the referrer you came from (used only to classify traffic as search / social / referral). The identifier stays stable until the salt is deliberately rotated - a rotation invalidates all previous identifiers, so history cannot be re-linked. When you leave a page, the page reports anonymously how long it was visible and your viewport size (width x height in pixels) - this beacon carries no identifier of its own. Counts are used to operate the site and pruned automatically after a year.

Outbound links

Outbound links to card providers go through a redirect that counts the click anonymously (no personal data, no cross-site identifiers) and sends no referrer.

Analytics

The Matomo instance receives your IP address (used only to serve the request and distinguish visitors, with cookies disabled), the page URL, the referrer host and the user agent. Data stays on our server, is never shared or sold, and is not used to profile you across sites. You can block it with any content blocker or "Do Not Track"; the site works fully without it.
