We use aggregate service statistics to monitor the website. If you accept optional analytics, we also measure page use and browser performance.
1. Website cookie choices
Reject non-essential stops optional browser analytics, including session identifiers and interaction tracking. Aggregate service statistics described below can still count requests needed to serve the website. Change your cookie choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.
These choices apply to website analytics. Required service and security processing is explained in our Privacy Policy.
2. Required storage
vardonWebConsent uses local storage to remember your choice for 180 days. It is always enabled when you save a choice and is not used for analytics.
If you change the aggregate statistics setting below, the vardonWebStatistics cookie remembers that preference for 180 days. It contains only on or off and is not a visitor identifier.
3. Optional analytics
vardonWebSession uses session storage only after acceptance. It associates page views, clicks, scroll depth and time spent with a random session identifier.
We also receive referral sites, device information and your IP address, which can be used to estimate location.
The identifier changes after 30 minutes of inactivity; browser session storage normally clears when the tab closes. Rejecting analytics stops future collection and removes this identifier.
After acceptance, supported browsers also report document loading time, time to first byte, largest contentful paint, layout shifts and interaction latency. These measurements help us find slow or unstable pages. They do not include form values or keystrokes.
Your browser's Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control setting also keeps website analytics off.
4. Aggregate service statistics
Our hosting service can count ordinary page requests, HTTP status codes and server response times. It supplies a country code where available. Installer requests are counted by file. These counts help us monitor service reliability and capacity.
We keep daily totals for up to 90 days. These totals do not contain IP addresses or IP hashes, session IDs, precise locations, referrers, device profiles or individual browsing histories. Query strings are discarded and unknown page addresses are grouped together. Country totals are shown only when a country has at least 10 requests in a day.
This processing happens on the server without an extra browser tracking request. It is separate from browser analytics and from the security processing described in our Privacy Policy. Requests are not a count of individual people and can include automated traffic.
You can stop aggregate measurement below. Doing so also rejects optional browser analytics. We respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Necessary hosting and security processing continues.
