Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

Analytics and Tracking

This site uses two analytics services. Here's exactly what they collect and why.

Self-Hosted Analytics

We use a private, self-hosted web analytics application. Our analytics platform is self-hosted, meaning your data is kept on our servers and is not shared with or sold to third-party analytics corporations.

What We Collect

Our analytics tool helps us understand our audience and improve our service by collecting the following information about your visit:

• Standard Visit Information: We collect standard web analytics data, including the page path you visited, the source that referred you to our site (e.g., Google, Twitter), and your browser's user agent string.
• Geolocation Data: We determine the country, region, and city of your visit based on your IP address. This information helps us understand our global audience. We also identify network information to detect if traffic is coming from a proxy, VPN, or hosting provider for security purposes.
• User Type: We distinguish between new and returning visitors using an anonymous identifier stored in your browser's local storage.
• Web3 Technology: To understand the adoption of decentralized technologies by our user base, we may detect the presence of browser-based Web3 wallets (such as MetaMask or Phantom) and your preferred blockchain type (e.g., EVM, Solana).
• Bot Detection: We analyze user agent strings and network flags to differentiate between human visitors and automated bots. This ensures our statistics are accurate.

Why We Collect It

The data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• To measure and analyze traffic patterns to determine what content is most useful to our visitors.
• To improve the user experience by understanding the geographic and technological profile of our audience.
• To ensure the accuracy of our analytics by filtering out non-human (bot) traffic.
• To enhance the security and integrity of our service.

Your Privacy and Control

You can control your analytics data directly:

• Anonymous Visitor ID: To differentiate between visits, we use a randomly generated ID that is stored in your browser. For your privacy, this ID automatically expires every 90 days.
• User Control: You have direct control over this identifier. You can clear your visitor ID at any time by opening your browser's developer console and executing the following command: window.inkwAnalytics.clearVisitorId().

This data is used internally to understand traffic patterns and improve the site. It is not shared with or sold to anyone.

Google Analytics

In addition to our self-hosted analytics, we use Google Analytics to track and report website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
