Cookies

Cookies and local storage are information saved by your browser. KJ's Counter does not create either, and the site no longer loads Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager.

Cloudflare's hosting security may set a cookie named __cf_bm to help identify automated traffic. Cloudflare says it expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity. This cookie is separate from Counter; Counter does not read it or include it in analytics events.

Counter does not use browser storage for analytics, sessions or visitor identifiers. Existing local game settings or other site data are separate and are not cleared by this rollout.

Stillwater Array uses local storage to save your station in this browser when storage is available. It does not send the save to a server or synchronise it with other devices. Staging and the main site keep separate saves. Clearing site data removes the corresponding save.

The former analytics-choice helper has been removed. It no longer reads or writes a saved choice. Older cookies or local data may remain until you clear them through browser settings.

The contact form loads Cloudflare Turnstile only after you interact with it, rather than on ordinary page visits. Turnstile processes technical information to check for automated submissions and is separate from Counter analytics.

The site does not store your contact message or security token in cookies or browser storage. Turnstile pre-clearance is not enabled by this implementation; any hosting-security cookies are described above.

Counter runs without the former analytics banner. It counts named pages, selected navigation links and supported game starts, restarts, completions, hints and undo actions.

Only fixed site-owned page/link/game labels, supported mode and difficulty values, broad results and supplied numeric measures are sent. Counter does not capture URL queries, fragments, referrers or link text.

Cloudflare's trusted request metadata supplies a two-letter country code, or Unknown, for each event. This requires no analytics cookie or browser identifier; Counter does not store IP addresses or precise location in analytics.

Raw event data becomes eligible for aggregation and deletion after 30 days. Daily scheduled compaction preserves aggregate statistics before removing raw data; failures or backlogs can extend raw retention. Backups and exports are managed separately.

Counter creates no cookies, persistent visitor IDs, sessions or fingerprints. It does not receive names, account identifiers, hidden answers, seeds, puzzle IDs, raw game state or error details.

The current site does not intentionally use advertising cookies, payment cookies, account cookies, comment cookies, newsletter cookies, or leaderboard cookies.

The former analytics banner has been removed. You can clear older cookies and site data in your browser settings, although doing so may also remove saved settings or game data. Counter does not inspect or reuse those older values.

This page should be reviewed before adding accounts, cloud saves, payments, adverts, newsletters, leaderboards, additional embedded services, or broader tracking.
