TL;DR: This site sets exactly one cookie (the age confirmation), stores no personal data, and uses no third-party trackers.
The one cookie
vrlc_age - set when you confirm you are 18+, purely to not show the gate again for 30 days. Contains no identifier beyond the value 1. Delete it any time; the gate reappears.
Anonymous visit counting
Pageviews are counted as follows: your IP address is hashed with a rotating secret (a pepper) and only the hash is stored, along with the visited path, a rough device class (desktop/mobile/tablet) and the response code. No raw IPs are stored, no cross-site identifiers exist, and we cannot reverse the hash. Sessions are the same hash plus the calendar day - they break at midnight by design.
Outbound clicks (which platform links get used) are counted with the same anonymous pattern.
Analytics
If self-hosted aggregate analytics are enabled, they run on our own server (Umami, cookie-less) and the data never leaves it. No Google Analytics, no ad networks, no social pixels.
What we never do
- No accounts, no e-mail collection, no logins
- No third-party trackers or ad networks
- No selling or sharing of anything - there is nothing to sell
