What is counted. The first time you click, press a key, drop a file or scroll past a quarter of a page, your browser sends one message to in.hatcherylake.com naming this site, the kind of visit and, if the link you followed ends in a tag such as ?ref=news, that tag, which says where the link was shared; the tag is kept in this tab's session storage until you close the tab, so the rest of your visit carries it, each message saying whether it comes from the visit's first page. The first time you scroll past the first screen or use the page's tool, game or main button, it sends one more message of the same kind. The first time you click the page's main button, it sends one more message of the same kind, saying only that you clicked, not which button or what it leads to. The first time you follow a link to another site, your browser sends one more message of the same kind, saying only whether the link was one that may pay us a commission (following one of those also counts as using the page); it does not say which link or where it goes. The edge keeps a hash of your IP address, your browser's user agent, the site, the kind and the date, mixed with a random salt that exists only in memory and is replaced at midnight Pacific time every day. The hash counts you once a day, and once that salt is gone this hash cannot by itself be linked to you or to another day. When you are counted as a visitor, the edge also keeps a weekly hash, of your IP address, your browser's user agent and the site, mixed with a different random salt. The weekly salt is stored in the edge's database and replaced every 7 days at midnight Pacific time, and the old one is deleted when its week ends. The weekly hash is kept with the date of your visit so that the edge can tell how many visitors come back, which means your visits to this site can be linked to each other for up to 7 days, and no longer. The weekly hashes of a week are deleted 7 days after it ends. Our database host keeps backups for up to 7 days, so a deleted salt can remain in a backup for up to 7 days more. A third hash, of your network (your IP address without its last part) and the site, made like the daily one, limits how many visitors one network can add in a day. The edge does not keep your IP address or user agent.
