Privacy

This is a reference site with nothing to sign up for. It sets no cookies, loads no advertising and runs no analytics product. What follows is the whole list, including the part that is true of every website.

What is and is not collected.
Kind of data What happens
Account details None. There is nothing to sign up for and no account to create.
Forms and messages None. There is no contact form, no newsletter and no comment box on this site.
Cookies set by these pages None. Nothing here sets a cookie, and no advertising or tracking script is loaded.
Browser storage The pages write nothing to your browser's storage. The tools read small data files from this site and work them out in the page; those files are ordinary requests to our server and are logged as such.
Analytics None at present. If that changes, this page will name what is added before it is added, and it will not be a product that follows readers between sites.
Server logs Our infrastructure provider records the ordinary details of a request — the address it came from, the page asked for, the time, and the browser's own description of itself — for delivery, security and abuse prevention. That happens for every site on the internet and it happens here.

Who processes a request

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, so a request for a page here is served from their network and processed by them as our infrastructure provider. They keep the usual request records for delivery, security and abuse prevention. There is no other processor: no advertising network, no analytics vendor, no customer-data platform, and no email provider, because nothing here sends email.

Links to other sites

Every page cites the documents it was written from and links to them. Those links go to publishers, regulators, testing bodies and companies whose own policies apply once you arrive; they carry no tracking parameters from us.

Children

Nothing here is directed at children and nothing here collects information from anyone, of any age, beyond the request records described above.

Changes to this page

If what the site collects ever changes, this page changes first and the change is recorded on the change log with its date.

Privacy: questions people ask

Does this site track me?
No. There is no analytics product, no advertising, no tracking pixel and no cookie set by these pages. What remains is the request log every web server keeps.
Who hosts the site?
Cloudflare. Requests to this domain are served from their network, and their logging and security processing applies to them.
What about the links out to sources?
Following a link to a publisher takes you to their site, under their policies rather than this one. Source links here carry no tracking parameters.
Do the tools send what I type anywhere?
The tools work inside the page after loading small data files from this site, so what you type into a tool is not sent back to us as a search. Loading those files is still a request to our server and is logged like any other page view.
