This page describes how www.paws-at-the-junction.co.uk handles visit data on this domain. It covers only the mechanisms built into this site and does not describe the practices of any site reached through an outbound link.
Visit Counting
When a visitor arrives from a search engine, the site records a small set of details tied to 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 in that arrival scenario. The purpose is limited to counting page views and clicks on outbound buttons, and that counting is the only use this information is put to. A single flag is kept in the browser for the current session so that one page view is not counted more than once. That flag lasts only for the session and is tied to this counting purpose.
Pages And Hosting
- The site is built from self-contained pages: everything a page needs to display loads from this domain, with no outside host called in while a page is shown.
- Fonts are embedded locally rather than pulled from an external source.
- Files are served as static content through a content delivery network, which processes the technical details of every request in its role as the hosting provider.
Outbound Links
Some links on this site lead to outbound partner destinations. Following one of these links first passes through a path on this domain, which then redirects to the partner's site. At that point the partner's site receives the request directly from the visitor's browser and keeps its own separate record of it. This page does not describe what a partner site does with that request, because that happens outside this domain.
What Is Not Present
- There are no forms on this site.
- There is no third-party analytics service in use.
- There are no external subresources loaded from other domains.
- There are no contact channels offered on this site.
Scope Of This Page
This page only describes the mechanisms built into this domain: the visit beacon triggered on search-engine arrivals, the session flag, the self-contained pages, the locally embedded fonts, the first-party redirect step, the outbound links themselves, and the static hosting arrangement. It does not extend any claim to the destinations those outbound links lead to, and it does not describe practices, storage, or retention beyond what is listed above. Readers should treat any site reached via an outbound link as a separate destination with its own separate handling of requests, and should not treat this page as covering what happens once a link is followed.
