Privacy

Pickoryx has no accounts, no sign-up and no newsletter. There is nothing to log in to, so there is no profile to build.

What we store

  • Page views. The path you visited, the referring site’s domain (not the full URL), and roughly how long the page stayed open, how long it was visible in the foreground, and the furthest point scrolled. We also count interactions such as filters, searches (query length only), and links to articles or products.
  • Outbound clicks. When you follow a link to Amazon.com, we record which product it was. This helps us understand which pages lead to shopping interest. A click does not tell us whether you placed an order.
  • An anonymous visitor id. A random value in a first-party cookie (px_vid) so repeat visits from the same browser can be counted once. It is not tied to a name, an email or an account, and we never send it anywhere else.
  • Anything you type into the report form — the message, and an email address only if you choose to give one.
  • Google Analytics. Alongside our own counters we run Google Analytics 4. It is how we see which searches, links and countries bring people here — something our own counters cannot tell us. It keeps its own first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_…) holding a random id, and sends Google the page you are viewing and an approximate location worked out from your IP address. What Google does with that is governed by Google’s privacy policy.

What we do not do

  • No advertising pixels, no social trackers, no retargeting.
  • No data brokers, and no selling or sharing of any of it. Apart from the analytics described above, nothing about your visit leaves our own server.
  • No fingerprinting to get around a browser’s privacy settings.

Your controls

  • We honour Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. With either signal on, this site records nothing about your visit — our own counters stay quiet and the Google Analytics tag is never loaded at all.
  • Blocking or clearing cookies works too — the site is fully usable without them, and the theme toggle is the only other thing that stores anything locally.

Retention

Page-view records are deleted after about six months. Outbound-click records are kept longer because they are how we tell which pages earn their place. Google keeps its own copy of the analytics data for as long as the retention period set on our property.

Once you leave

Following a link to Amazon.computs you under Amazon’s own privacy policy and cookies, which we do not control. See the affiliate disclosure for what that link is.
