Traffic statistics and privacy

The counter receives a page path and a random identifier for that page view. It does not receive search terms, input-field contents, manuscripts, survey files or your analysis results.

When enabled, the server processes the IP to create a keyed hash scoped to one day. This statistics module does not store the original IP, use cookies or keep a persistent identifier that links activity across days.

Day-scoped IP hashes and page-view identifiers prevent duplicate counting for today and the previous day. Expired rows are removed during the next processing operation; aggregate daily totals are retained for up to 365 days.

The report requires the administrator password. No IP list is public. You can enable Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser to request exclusion from this counter.

Distinct IPs are not distinct people. Browser blocking, network failures and unrecognized bots can make these counts differ from hosting logs. Counting starts when enabled; historical traffic is not estimated.
