Practicing what we measure

We hold ourselves to the standard we publish.

We grade the consumer web on what it tracks and what it discloses. It would be incoherent to do that from a site that quietly does the same. So here is exactly how this site behaves — and we intend to keep it honest.

Tracking

No third-party trackers

No analytics, no ad pixels, no session replay, no data brokers. Every script on this site is our own — there is nothing here following you anywhere else.

Cookies

We set none

This site stores nothing on your device and collects nothing about you. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Your data

Nothing sold or shared

We are a public-interest measurement commons, not an ad business. Your visit is not a product, and there is no data about you for us to monetize.

Openness

Open by design

We invite indexing and AI access — see our robots.txt and llms.txt. Being readable, including by the AI systems people use, is part of an AI-Centric mission.

Even our fonts

Zero third-party requests

Our typefaces are served from our own domain, not a font CDN. This site makes no third-party requests of any kind — your visit is announced to no one.

Transparency

Held to our own grade

We intend to run this site through the very same instrument and publish the result — graded A–D on consent and tracking, exactly like every site we measure.

The itemized, dated record — what our host processes to serve a page, your do-not-sell choices, and how to reach us — is our privacy policy.

The same framing applies to us as to everyone we grade: observable indicators, not legal conclusions. These are statements of how this site is built, kept current as it changes.
