Website statistics
Supplement to our privacy notice. Updated 16 October 2026.
What we count
Only after you choose Allow statistics, we use first-party aggregate counters to understand which public pages are useful and improve Carspecy. A visible page may send its public page name (and numeric vehicle-generation ID for a catalog page), a broad device category and a referral category such as direct, Google, Facebook or other. Referral URLs, search terms, campaign parameters and full browser identifiers are not stored in these statistics.
What we do not identify
These counters set no analytics cookies and do not put visitor or session identifiers in browser storage. To estimate daily visitors, the server uses the network IP address and up to 512 characters of the browser user-agent transiently to compute a site-specific keyed hash that changes each UTC day. Raw IP addresses and user-agent strings are not stored in the statistics database. Daily pseudonyms are not attached to page views, referrals, orders or customer data, and are removed after the UTC day ends during hourly cleanup (normally within one hour). Daily totals remain for up to 90 days. This is an approximate device/network count, not an identification of people; VPNs, shared networks and browser or network changes affect it. The same visitor is counted separately on different days, so daily counts cannot be summed as distinct people over a week or month. They measure page views, entrances and approximate daily visitors. Repeat visits, blocked scripts and undetected automated traffic affect counts. Ordinary hosting and security request processing remains described in our privacy notice.
Scope, retention and choices
We count the homepage, public vehicle pages, listing-entry, methodology and licenses pages. Private reports, checkout details, withdrawal forms, admin pages, advert text and personal customer information are excluded. Consent is optional and is our basis for this measurement. Rejecting or withdrawing consent stops future statistics from this browser, including the daily IP/browser estimate. Browsing and purchasing remain available. The counters respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Daily aggregate counters are retained for up to 90 days; access is restricted to the operator. No third-party analytics service receives these counters.

Your statistics preference
Statistics are off until you explicitly allow them. We save only your versioned choice and its date in local browser storage (carspecy.privacy.v1) for up to 180 days, without a visitor identifier. Use Privacy settings to allow, reject or withdraw at any time. Each browser and device has its own choice. If storage is blocked, statistics stay off. An old explicit exclusion is respected; a previous inclusion is not consent. Earlier aggregate counts cannot be attributed to you or removed selectively.
Necessary tab storage for checkout attempts, withdrawal statements and private report access supports the service you request. Stripe handles its checkout storage under its own notice. We do not load Google Analytics, advertising pixels or marketing trackers.
