What this site collects.

Analytics

We measure which pages get read, using Umami, which we host ourselves on our own infrastructure. No analytics company receives your data, because no analytics company is involved.

Each page view records:

• the full web address you visited — including anything after a ? or a # — which of our sites it was on, and the page title
• the site you arrived from, if you came from another site — and which of our pages you came from when you move around inside the site
• your screen size and browser language
• your browser, operating system and device type
• your approximate location, at city level, derived from your IP address

No cookies are set, and nothing is written to your browser's storage. You will not see a cookie banner here because there is nothing to consent to storing. One reading does happen, and it is the opt-out below: on every page the measurement checks whether you have set the switch that turns it off. That is the whole of it, and it is what makes the switch work.

How visits are counted, and the honest caveat

Umami does not store your IP address alongside your page views. It scrambles it, together with some details about your browser, into a random-looking code that cannot be turned back into an IP address. All the code does is let us tell that two page views came from the same person.

The web server in front of it does still record IP addresses in its access log, the way web servers ordinarily do. We are switching that off, and until it is done this is the honest position — "we don't store your IP" is exactly the kind of claim that is true of one component and quietly false one layer down.

The code is rebuilt at midnight UTC, so records from two different days no longer share the same one. That is not the same as being untraceable: the daily ingredient is the date itself, so someone holding our server key and a candidate IP address could recompute an old day's code. It makes the data pseudonymous rather than anonymous, and we would rather say that than call it anonymous because it is convenient.

One measurement id covers negentic.ai, including most of the tools inside the Lab — Code Galaxy has no measurement at all. Those tools are separate applications but not separate sites; they are all served from this one address, so moving between them is one visitor, here. Nothing in that is linked to a name, an email or an account, and we do not measure you anywhere else.

How long it is kept

Indefinitely, at present. We have not set an automatic deletion schedule, so page-view records stay in our database until we remove them by hand. We would rather tell you that than leave it out.

Opting out

If your browser is set to Do Not Track, this site will not record your visit. Most sites ignore that setting; this one is configured to honour it. The same limit applies as below: what is read is the setting your browser exposes to the page, not the DNT header.

Global Privacy Control is honoured too. Worth being precise about how: the analytics software itself reads only the older Do Not Track signal, so we check for Global Privacy Control ourselves and stop the measurement before it sends anything. That matters because Do Not Track is being removed from some browsers — if yours no longer offers it, Global Privacy Control still works here. One limit worth stating: we read the signal your browser exposes to the page, not the Sec-GPC header, so an extension that sends only the header is not covered.

Two more ways, available to anyone, signal or no signal. Most ad and content blockers stop the measurement — though we serve it from our own address rather than a known tracking domain, so a blocker is less certain to catch it here than elsewhere, and we would rather say that than let you assume. For something exact, run this once in your browser's developer console and this site will never record you again:

localStorage.setItem("umami.disabled", "1")

Nothing on this site depends on the measurement. It works identically either way.

What we don't do

• No advertising, and no advertising networks.
• No cross-site or cross-device tracking. The measurement runs on this site only.
• No fingerprinting. Nothing here probes your fonts or reads back a canvas to identify you. The 3D scenes do ask your graphics driver what it can do, because that is how they decide what to draw — they do not ask what it is called, and none of it reaches the measurement.
• No selling, renting or sharing of data. Ever.
• No third-party analytics, tag managers, or embedded trackers.

If you email us

Mail sent to contact@negentic.ai is used to reply to you and nothing else. It is not added to a mailing list.

The Lab

The password-protected area at /lab requires an account and stores a sign-in session in your browser so you stay logged in. That sign-in session is separate from analytics.

Page addresses inside the Lab are measured like any other page, though — with the Code Galaxy exception noted above, the measurement is not limited to the public part of the site.

Asking us about your data

Since we never attach a name, email or account to a page view, we usually cannot find "your" analytics data to show or delete it — you would have to tell us the day, the IP address you used and the browser you used it from, and even then the match would be a reconstruction rather than a lookup. If you have a question about any of this, or want anything you have sent us removed, email contact@negentic.ai and we will answer.
