Privacy and optional analytics

Optional website analytics

When configured, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand website visits, popular pages, traffic sources and clicks on our WhatsApp join buttons. A button click does not tell us whether someone joined the group.

Google Analytics loads only after you select Accept cookies. Rejecting analytics does not restrict access to the website. No Google Analytics requests or cookies are made by this integration before you accept. Analytics is not used for advertising personalization.

Your choice and cookies

When analytics is configured, use Cookie settings in the footer on any page to accept or reject it at any time. We remember your choice in this browser's local storage. Clearing site data resets the choice. If browser storage is blocked, the choice applies only to the current page.

After acceptance, Google can use first-party _ga cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions. This integration sets a one-year cookie expiry, refreshed with activity. Rejecting analytics stops further measurement by this integration and removes its first-party analytics cookies. It does not erase information already sent to Google.

What is measured

Analytics can include page paths and titles, browser and device information, approximate location and traffic-source information. Google processes network information, including an IP address, to provide the service. Visitor counts are estimates, not identified people.

Our tracking code excludes URL query strings and fragments and sends only the referring site's origin. It allows campaign source, medium and name labels made of letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens. It does not send WhatsApp invitation URLs, names, email addresses, phone numbers or application information as click-event parameters. Do not put personal information into campaign labels.

See Google's privacy policy and Google Analytics data safeguards. Browser blocking and rejected consent can reduce recorded counts.

Hosting and external services

The website is hosted on GitHub Pages. Hosting providers may process technical request information independently of optional analytics. Following an official-source, WhatsApp, Instagram or email link takes you to a separate service with its own privacy practices. Emailing us shares the information you choose to send; do not send passwords, OTPs, identity documents or bank/card details.
