Overview​

Gasnet.org is committed to protecting your privacy. This document explains how we handle data on this website.

Analytics​

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how our documentation is used and to improve content quality.

What We Collect​

Our analytics solution collects only the following anonymized data:

  • Page views (which pages are visited)
  • Referrer (how you arrived at our site)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Screen resolution
  • Country (based on IP address, not stored)

What We Don't Collect​

We deliberately do not collect:

  • Personal identifiers (names, emails, addresses)
  • IP addresses (only used for country-level geolocation)
  • Tracking cookies or persistent identifiers
  • Cross-site tracking data
  • Behavioral profiles or fingerprinting

Data Storage​

  • All analytics data is stored on our own servers
  • No data is shared with third-party services
  • Data retention period: 90 days (aggregate statistics only)
  • No data is sold or monetized

The on-site search function runs entirely in your browser. Your search queries are:

Do Not Track​

Our analytics respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. If you have DNT enabled, your visit will not be counted in analytics statistics.

You can opt out of analytics by:

  1. Browser Setting: Enable Do Not Track in your browser settings
  2. Browser Extension: Use a privacy-focused extension that blocks analytics scripts
