This notice describes what wpdoki.com stores in your browser and what we measure. There are two levels and you choose: anonymous counting, which leaves nothing on your device, or detailed measurement, which gives your browser an identifier so we can see where the site gets in people's way. Neither uses advertising cookies, and neither sends anything to a third party.
1. What is stored in your browser
Your choice (wpdoki.consent) — so we do not ask on every page. It records which level you chose and when. It is stored even if you refuse measurement: that is the only way to honour the refusal.
With detailed measurement, an identifier (wpdoki.vid) — a random number your browser generates and keeps. It contains nothing about you, but it persists: it is how we know you are a returning visitor. Without detailed consent it is never created, and withdrawing consent deletes it immediately.
The current visit's identifier (wpdoki.sid) — lives only until the tab is closed, so the pages of one sitting belong together.
A sign-in cookie — only in the admin area, for the provider's own staff. As a visitor you never receive one.
Nothing else. No advertising cookie, no social embed, no Google Analytics or equivalent.
2. Anonymous counting
At this level, one page view records:
the page address and its language,
the country if it can be determined, the referring site's domain, and whether you came from a phone, a tablet or a computer,
how long the page was open, how far you scrolled, and which sections you saw,
a code that cannot be reversed and changes every day, so visitors can be told apart within a single day.
What is not kept at this level: no IP address, no browser fingerprint, no cookie, nothing traceable to you. The key behind the code changes at midnight, so yesterday's data cannot be joined to today's.
3. Detailed measurement
If you allow this, the following is also recorded, tied to your browser's identifier. It exists for exactly one purpose: finding where the site is hard to use or broken.
whether you are a returning visitor, which visit this is, and when you first came,
the order in which you read pages in a sitting, where you entered and where you stopped,
what you clicked — which button or link — and when you left for another site,
where you clicked something that is not a button, and where you clicked repeatedly out of impatience: both are design faults,
which form you started and did not send,
any JavaScript error message (the message text only),
how quickly the page loaded and how much it moved while loading (LCP, INP, CLS),
your screen and window size, your time zone, and the campaign tag if you arrived from a marked link (utm).
What is still not kept: no name, no e-mail address, no IP address, and nothing you typed into a form. The identifier is a random number — it cannot be traced back to you, and it is never joined to any other database of ours, including subscriber records.
4. What it is used for, and what it is not
Only to make the site easier to use: what people cannot find, where they get stuck, what is slow, what is broken.
It is never sold, shared or sent to a third party. There is no code on the site that could: the measurement stops at our own server.
It is not used for advertising, targeting, or following you across other sites.
No automated decision is made about you, and you are never shown a different price or different content because of it.
5. How the country is determined
If the network in front of our server reports the country, we use that. If not, the address is looked up with an external provider — a server-to-server call only — and the answer is stored beside an irreversible identifier. The address itself appears nowhere else and is never stored. This lookup can be switched off, in which case the country stays “unknown”.
6. How long it is kept
Anonymous page views: at most 400 days.
Detailed data (visitors, sittings, events): at most 180 days, then deleted automatically.
7. If you change your mind
The “Cookie settings” link in the footer brings the choice back at any time. There you will find your browser's identifier and a button that deletes everything tied to it, immediately and permanently — no questions, no reason needed. Dropping to a lower level removes the identifier too.
To leave yourself out permanently in one browser, open any page with ?noanalytics=1 at the end — and ?noanalytics=0 undoes it.
