Privacy
BestSweeps is an evidence publication with no reader accounts. Analytics is limited to the measurements described here.
Analytics
We use a self-hosted Umami service to measure canonical page paths, token-like campaign labels, external referrer origins, device categories, pageviews, and allowlisted interactions such as use of an evidence-source link. Searches, free text, raw query strings, document contents, destination URLs, and account details are dropped before analytics is sent.
A per-site pseudonymous session identifier is made from transient network and device signals and rotates every week. The analytics database does not store raw IP addresses or raw user-agent strings. It keeps device, browser and operating-system categories, country and, for U.S. visits, state or region. It does not collect city or precise location. Analytics records are deleted after 13 months.
We do not sell or share analytics data, use it for targeted advertising, enable session replay, identify you, use fingerprinting, or join your activity across our sites.
