RESEARCH STANDARDS

Privacy

A small amount of data keeps the site and visitor ratings working.

Visitor ratings

Opening the rating control stores first-party browser cookies. A random identifier lets you update a previous score from the same browser; a security token protects submissions. The identifier is stored as a keyed hash. Cookies last up to 180 days and can be removed in your browser settings.

To limit automated votes, the service stores a keyed hash of the network address with a short-lived hourly counter, rather than the raw address in the ratings database. Counters expire after approximately 48 hours. The server and Cloudflare may maintain their own operational request logs.

Traffic and links

The site's traffic statistics record requested host, path and referral source. Following an outbound or source link takes you to a separate website with its own privacy terms. No account or payment details are collected on this site.
