Privacy: what this site collects and what it does not

What this site collects

Nothing. There is no analytics script, no cookie, no font loaded from a third party, no embedded video and no advertising. The pages are static HTML with one local stylesheet and one optional local script. If the script fails to load, the pages still read and the links still work.

What that means in practice

The absence of analytics is a real cost. The bench cannot know which pages are read or where readers stop, so pages are improved from corrections and from the sources rather than from behaviour. That trade is made deliberately: a measurement bench that tracked its readers would have to explain why.

Outbound links

Every outbound link points at a specific document and opens in the same tab. No link carries a tracking parameter, because the bench does not generate any. Where a destination site sets its own cookies, that is between the reader and that site.

This page is deliberately one screen. A privacy page that needs scrolling is usually describing something it would rather not summarise.

One link, one document, titled as it titles itself. No home pages, no search results.
