Privacy information

Tom Gerling is responsible for this service; see the legal notice for contact details. This website has no sign-up form, newsletter registration or advertising pixels. Basic page-view statistics are described below. Video and downloads are hosted on this website, not embedded from YouTube.

When you visit, the hosting provider processes connection data needed to deliver and secure the site, including your IP address and requested content. Hosting is provided through OpenAI Sites. More information: OpenAI privacy policy. When you visit our shop, its privacy policy applies.

The hosting infrastructure also uses Cloudflare to secure delivery. It sets the security cookie __cf_bm , which Cloudflare says expires after 30 minutes of inactivity and helps detect automated traffic. It is not part of our page-view statistics. More information: Cloudflare’s explanation of security cookies.

If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide to answer your enquiry. For questions or to exercise your privacy rights, use the contact details above.

Basic page-view statistics

This website counts page views, redirects to our linked shops and requests for free downloads on the server. Only aggregated values by day (UTC), page or product, and action are stored. General counting sets no cookies, uses no local or session storage and assigns no visitor identifier. An owner can explicitly mark a test browser: only when this setting is enabled is the cookie __Host-fernivo-owner stored with the same yes-value for up to 180 days. It applies only to that browser profile and web address, can be removed on the same settings page and contains no unique identifier. Marked-browser requests are totalled separately from unmarked requests. Unmarked does not necessarily mean someone else: the owner’s other devices and undetected automated requests may be included. The marker grants no access to business statistics or accounts.

These counters do not store IP addresses, names, email addresses, referrer URLs, search terms or device information. Recognised automated and preview requests are counted separately where possible; the browser identifier briefly read for this classification is not stored in the statistics. The hosting provider processes the connection data required for delivery as described above.

We also count by fixed source categories: YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Google, Bing, Etsy, other website and direct/unknown. A recognised channel parameter in the requested link is read, or a transmitted referring site is briefly assigned to one category. Only the category, day, page or action, request group and count are stored. Full referrer addresses, arbitrary link parameters, search terms and visitor identifiers are not stored. A fixed channel name is carried through internal links as a parameter, without analytics cookies, browser storage or fingerprinting. Shared channel links can therefore still be attributed to their original channel. These statistics do not identify people, individual journeys or unique visitor numbers.

Known bots, preview requests and other recognised automated requests are reported separately. The browser identifier briefly used to classify them is not stored. Marked owner browsers remain separate; technical checks with our test identifier are not counted. Detection is incomplete: unmarked traffic may still be our own or automated. Earlier requests are not retrospectively assigned a source.

These counters help assess use of our own service. They show requests and actions, not distinct people or completed purchases. Repeat requests may be counted repeatedly; a download request does not confirm that the download completed.

No browser choice is needed for these basic, non-identifying aggregated statistics. Where technical delivery requires personal connection data, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating and improving the website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
