This page explains what happens on www.shazbutterfly.com when a page loads, when a visit is counted, and when a link is followed to another site. It covers only what the site itself does, not the practices of any destination reached through an outbound link.
Counts a Visit Only From Search Traffic
When a visitor arrives by clicking through from a search engine, the site records a small set of details tied to that visit: the path of the page, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine, and the text of an outbound button if one is clicked. This is used only to count page views and outbound-button clicks. It is not used for any other purpose. To stop a single page view from being counted more than once, the browser holds one flag for the current session; this flag applies only while that browser tab or session is active and does not act as a lasting identifier.
Builds Every Page From Its Own Domain
The site is a set of static files delivered through a content delivery network, which handles the technical details of each request as the hosting provider. Every file a page needs, including its fonts, is loaded from this domain itself, so no outside host is contacted while a page is being displayed. Outbound links work by first passing through a path on this domain before redirecting to the partner site; the partner receives the click request directly from the visitor's browser at that point and keeps its own separate record of it. Following a link opens a separate destination outside this site's control, and its practices are not described here.
Collects Nothing Beyond Traffic Counting
There are no forms on this site, so no typed information is ever submitted through it. There is no third-party analytics service reading or receiving visit data. There are no external subresources loaded from other domains while a page displays. There is no contact channel of any kind on the site. No cookies are set, no other browser storage is used, and no persistent identifier is created. Names, e-mail addresses, account identifiers and payment details are never collected, and no personal information is stored or retained about any individual visitor. Nothing gathered here is shared with advertising networks, data brokers, or outside analytics providers. Because none of this collection happens, the site has no reason to ask for consent, registration, or any personal detail from a reader.
