This page explains what happens on www.howtovoteinsa.net itself, as distinct from any third-party site a reader might reach by following a link from here. It covers the small amount of visit activity the build records, the absences that were confirmed for this site, and where its scope stops.
See What Counts as a Visit
When a visitor arrives from a search engine, the site notes the page path, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine, and the text of any outbound button that gets clicked. This happens through a first-party visit beacon, and it fires only in that search-referral situation, not on every visit. The sole purpose of this data is to count page views and clicks on outbound buttons; it is not used for anything beyond that traffic count. Alongside this, a single session view flag is held in the browser for the duration of the current visit, so that one page view is not counted more than once while that session lasts. The flag does not persist beyond the session and is not a lasting identifier.
Understand How the Pages Are Built and Served
Each page on this site is self-contained: everything a page needs to display, including its fonts, is loaded from files embedded locally rather than fetched from an outside host while the page is showing. The site itself is a set of static files delivered through a content delivery network, and that network handles the technical request data for every visit in its role as the hosting provider. No other browser storage and no persistent identifier are set beyond the single session flag already described.
Know What This Site Never Collects
There are no forms on this site, so nothing a reader might type is ever submitted here. There is no third-party analytics service reading visit data, no external subresources pulled in from other domains while a page loads, and no contact channel of any kind on the site. Names, e-mail addresses, account identifiers and payment details are never asked for and never collected, because there is no mechanism on the site built to receive them. This is also why the site needs no consent step, no account, and no personal detail from anyone reading it.
Follow an Outbound Link With This in Mind
Outbound links on this site point first to a path on this same domain and are then redirected to the linked partner site. That first-party outbound redirect step does not hand any stored visitor data to the partner; it simply forwards the request. Once the redirect completes, the partner site receives the visit directly from the reader's own browser and keeps whatever record it keeps under its own practices. This site has no visibility into and no control over what a partner does with that visit once the reader has left this domain.
Keep the Static Page Separate From Where Links Lead
Everything described above applies only to www.howtovoteinsa.net as a static, self-hosted set of pages. A linked destination is a separate site with its own way of handling requests, and reaching it through a link here does not extend anything on this page to that destination. Readers should treat any form, account sign-up or payment step encountered after following an outbound link as belonging entirely to that other site, not to this one.
