This page describes what the Feckenham Forest History Society website does with visit data, based only on how the site is actually built. It applies to the pages hosted on this domain and does not describe the practices of any other site reached by following a link from here.
Visit Counting
When a visitor arrives from a search engine, the site records a small amount of information about that visit: the page path, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine, and the text of any outbound button that gets clicked. This happens only for visitors coming from search engine results, not for every visitor. The sole purpose of this data is to count page views and outbound button clicks for the site's own traffic figures. It is not used for any other purpose.
To make sure a single page view is only counted once, the site keeps one flag in the browser for the duration of the current browsing session. This flag is not a persistent identifier, does not use cookies, and does not remain in the browser once the session ends. No other browser storage is set, and no personal details such as names, e-mail addresses, account identifiers or payment information are collected at any point.
Hosting And Links
The site is a set of static files served by a content delivery network. As the hosting provider, the network processes the technical details of every request in the ordinary course of delivering the pages; this is a function of how the site is hosted rather than a separate collection activity by the Society. Every file needed to display a page, including locally embedded fonts, comes from this domain, so no outside host is contacted while a page is being shown.
Some pages contain outbound links to third-party sites. When one of these links is followed, the click first goes to a path on this domain and is then redirected to the destination; no stored visitor data is passed to the partner site as part of that redirect. Once the visitor's browser reaches the destination, that site receives the request directly and keeps its own separate record of it. This site has no control over, and makes no claim about, what a linked destination does with that request.
| On this site | On a linked destination |
|---|---|
| Only search-engine-referred visits generate a page-view or click record, used solely for traffic counting | The destination site receives the visitor's request directly and keeps its own record, outside this site's knowledge or control |
| No cookies, no persistent identifiers, no personal data collected | Not described here — governed by whatever that separate site does |
Scope Of This Page
The site has no forms, no third-party analytics, no external subresources and no contact channels. There is no login, registration or user account, and no personal information is stored or retained about any individual visitor. Visitor data is not shared with advertising networks, data brokers or outside analytics services, because none are used.
Because there is no contact channel on this site, readers should not attempt to submit personal data through it. Any information entered on a linked third-party site after following an outbound link is handled under that site's own practices, not this one's, and this page makes no claim about what those practices are.
