To see which pages are useful, technetbuddy.com counts page views with a small script of its own. It uses no cookies, no third-party analytics services and no advertising trackers. This page covers only the website; the apps and the newsletter have their own policies on the privacy page.
What is recorded for each page view
- The page you opened, for example /apps.html, and the date and time.
- The website that linked you here, if any: only its name, for example google.com, never the full address.
- Your browser's language setting, for example en-CA.
- The type of device: phone, tablet or computer.
- A scrambled code that changes every day, so a visitor who opens several pages is counted once per day. It is made from your IP address and browser details with a secret key, and cannot be turned back into them. Because it changes every day, it cannot be used to follow you from one day to the next.
What is not recorded
No IP address, no browser identifier, no cookies, no name or email address, and nothing that could identify you. The counts are used only by TechNetBuddy, to see how the site is used, and are never sold or shared.
Opting out
If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, nothing is recorded. Blocking JavaScript for this site also stops the count.
Where it is stored and for how long
In the same private database as the rest of the website, on our web hosting provider's servers, which only our own website can access. Page views are deleted after 13 months.
