Privacy

This site has no accounts and no advertising. Since 11 Nov 2026 it uses Google Analytics to count visits and pages, in aggregate.

Visit counts

Since 11 Nov 2026 the site has measured anonymous, aggregated traffic with Google Analytics 4, measurement id G-HGZ1CCF7Q2: which pages were viewed, roughly which country, and whether the device was a phone or a desktop. Google sets its _ga cookies to tell one visit from the next in aggregate; they identify a browser, not a person, and are described in Google's cookie notice. No advertising profile is built from these figures, they are not sold or shared, and you can block the tool with Google's own opt-out while the site works the same.

The films

The short film loops on this site are served from this site. Once a film is on YouTube, a case page loads the YouTube player only when you press Watch, from YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain, youtube-nocookie.com; YouTube's own privacy policy then applies to the player. Links to the Backstory Report channel take you to YouTube.

Hosting

The site's host processes standard request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, under its own privacy policy.
