race-week.com is a personal, non-commercial project. This page describes exactly what happens to data when you visit, and is written to match what the site's code actually does.
The site sets no cookies of any kind — neither the page nor the analytics request. There is no registration, no login, and no form to submit.
Analytics are self-hosted on stats.vasaas1.com, a server run by the
same person as this site. No third-party analytics product is involved. Each page
view stores one row containing:
?series=f2 are never recorded;Your referrer is not collected, and your full IP address is never stored.
To count visitors without identifying them, each view stores a short irreversible hash of your IP address and browser, combined with a secret salt that changes every day. Because the salt rotates, the same visitor produces a different value the next day, so views cannot be linked together over time and the hash cannot be reversed into an IP address.
This is the same approach used by privacy-focused analytics tools such as Plausible and Fathom. Within a single day the value is pseudonymous rather than strictly anonymous, which is why it is described here explicitly.
Analytics rows are automatically deleted after 90 days by a job that runs daily. Cloudflare's own connection logs are retained under Cloudflare's policy (typically around 24 hours on free plans).
The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes connection metadata (IP address, TLS version, HTTP headers) to deliver pages and protect against abuse. Cloudflare acts as a data processor. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
No resources are loaded from Google, Meta, ad networks, or any other third-party tracking service. Fonts and all other assets are served from this domain. The only external request the page makes is to the self-hosted analytics endpoint above.
The site reads your browser's timezone to show session times in your local time. This happens entirely in your browser and is never sent to the server.
Processing rests on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) in operating the site, understanding aggregate usage, and protecting against abuse. Given that no full IP address is retained, no cookie is set, no cross-site tracking occurs, and identifiers cannot be linked across days, this processing is not considered to override your rights.
Under GDPR you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability. Because no directly identifying information is stored and visitor hashes cannot be traced back to a person, most of these are satisfied by design — a request to access or erase "your" data cannot be matched to a specific individual, as there is nothing linking a stored row to you.
