Pages, referring domains and a few actions (searches that found nothing, downloads, missing addresses, "Did this page help?") are sent to GoatCounter. Nothing is stored on the device, and nothing is sent under Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. wiki/privacy.md says what is sent.

What we count
No cookies. No account. Nothing is stored on your device, and nothing links a visit to a person.
On this site
When a page opens, your browser sends one request to GoatCounter, an open-source counter. It carries:
- the page address, without the part after
?or#; - the site you came from, by its domain only (
google.com,reddit.com).
GoatCounter reads the browser name and the country from that request. It does not keep your IP address. To tell a reload from a second visitor it keeps a code made from the request for 8 hours, then drops it.
These actions are counted the same way, with the page they happened on:
- a click on a copy button, a pack download or a file link;
- a site search that found nothing, with its words, so a missing page shows up.
Words with an
@or a long number are never sent; - the answer to "Did this page help?".
Not sent: your screen size, your language, a search that found results.
The totals are kept two years and are public: retrobios.goatcounter.com.
If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, nothing is sent, and the "Did this page help?" question is not shown. A content blocker that stops GoatCounter changes nothing on the site.
The installer
The installer sends nothing back. It downloads files from GitHub, which sees those requests as it sees any download.
Search engines
Google and Bing tell us which searches showed the site and how often it was clicked. They report totals, from their own records, never from your browser.
