Privacy note
This host is a traffic quality gate used in an advertising operation. It sits between a traffic source and a monetization page. It is not a public service and it sets no cookies of its own.
What is processed when a visit passes through
| Data | Why | Stored? |
|---|---|---|
| IP address | Used to count repeat visits from one connection inside a short window | Not stored. It is immediately reduced to a salted, one-way hash for that counter; the address itself is never written to disk or to the database. |
| Country, network operator, ASN | Supplied automatically by the edge network; used to recognise datacentre and proxy traffic | Stored in aggregate per day and country |
| Click id and zone / source id from the link | So the visit can be attributed to the same click in the advertiser's tracking, and so a source that spends without converting can be excluded | Stored with the visit record (see retention) |
| Browser signals | Only if JavaScript runs: presence of automation flags, touch support, language, timezone, graphics renderer, and counts of pointer, scroll and key events. Used to tell a real browser from scripted traffic | Stored with the visit record (see retention) |
| Page content of the destination | — | Not read, not stored |
Retention
- Aggregated counts (visits per day, per country, per local hour, per decision reason) are kept as numbers only — no per-visitor detail.
- Individual visit records are kept for 30 days and are written only for visits the gate flags, plus a 2% sample of the rest.
- The zone blocklist holds source identifiers, not visitor data.
What is not done here
- No cookies are set by this host.
- No accounts, no forms, no sign-ups.
- No selling or sharing of data with third parties.
- No advertising is served from this host; it only decides where a visit is sent next.
