This page describes how www.bedminsterpeople.co.uk handles visit data when a reader arrives on this domain, and how that differs from the sites reached through its outbound links.
How visits are counted on this domain
When a visitor arrives here from a search engine, the site records a small set of details: the page path, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine, and the text of any outbound button clicked. This information is sent through a first-party analytics endpoint and stored in the operator's own logs on the same domain. The content delivery network that serves the pages also reports the country the request came from, with no finer location detail. None of this is collected for visits that do not arrive from a search engine.
A single first-party cookie supports this counting. It is set only when a visit comes from a search engine, lasts no more than one hour, holds nothing but the name of that search engine, and is used solely to connect a later outbound-link click back to the search engine that brought the visitor here. Alongside it, a session-only flag in the browser makes sure one page view is counted once rather than multiple times. Neither of these stores a persistent identifier, and no other browser storage is used.
The pages themselves are self-contained: every file a page needs, including its fonts, is served from this domain, so nothing is fetched from an outside host while a page is displayed. The site is static, distributed through a content delivery network that processes standard request data as its hosting provider.
How outbound links and their destinations work
Outbound links first pass through a redirect on this domain before reaching the linked site. That redirect does not hand the partner any of the visit data stored in this site's own logs; once the visitor's browser reaches the third-party site, that site receives the request directly and keeps its own separate record of it. This site has no control over what a linked destination does with that request.
There are no forms on this site, no contact channels, no third-party analytics, and no external subresources loaded into its pages. No names, e-mail addresses, account identifiers or payment details are collected, and nothing is retained that identifies an individual visitor. Readers should treat any linked third-party site as a separate destination with its own separate handling of whatever it receives.
