What we count
When you open a page, we count the visit with PostHog, an analytics service. For each visit it records:
- the page you opened and how long you stayed on it
- the page or site that sent you here, such as a search engine or Pinterest
- the links and buttons you click
- your browser, your type of device and the size of your screen
These numbers show us which movies and articles help learners, and which pages we need to fix. The law calls this a legitimate interest.
How we count without knowing who you are
We use PostHog in its cookieless mode. It stores nothing in your browser: no cookies and no local storage.
To count how many people visit in a day, PostHog's servers mix your IP address and your browser details with a random value that changes every day. The result is a code that can't be turned back into your IP address. When the day is over, PostHog deletes the random value, so the next day you count as a new visitor.
PostHog does not keep your IP address with the visit, so we don't even know your country.
The data stays on PostHog's servers in the European Union, for one year on our plan. You can read PostHog's privacy policy.
Who hosts the site
Netlify hosts the site. Like every web server, it sees your IP address and your browser details when your browser asks for a page. It uses them to send you the page and to keep the site safe. You can read Netlify's privacy policy.
What we don't do
- We don't set cookies.
- We don't have accounts, sign-up forms or a newsletter.
- We don't show ads, and we use no ad trackers or social media buttons.
- We don't sell or share data.
- Apart from PostHog, your browser loads nothing from other services: our fonts and images come from our own site.
Some pages link to other sites, such as research papers. Those sites have their own privacy rules.
Your choices and rights
An ad blocker can stop the count, and the site works the same with it.
We can't tell who you are, so we usually can't find data about you. You can still write to us to ask what we know, or to ask us to delete it. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.
