This covers what the BlinkGTK websites (blinkgtk.org / blinkgtk.com) collect and what they do not. For the library itself, see “About the library” at the end.
We use Google Analytics 4. Everything below is aggregated to see trends; none of it is used to work out who you are.
| Collected | What it is for |
|---|---|
| URL of the page viewed | To learn which documents are actually read, and decide what to improve first |
| Where you came from (referrer) | To learn how people find the project |
| Approximate location (country, city) | To decide which language deserves more work |
| Browser, OS, screen size category | To decide which environments to test rendering against |
| A random identifier (cookie) | To count several pages viewed by one person as one visit |
IP addresses are truncated by Google and are not stored in full
(we set anonymize_ip explicitly).
No names, email addresses, employers, text you type, or anything else that identifies you. Sending such data is also forbidden by the Google Analytics terms of service.
Choosing “No thanks” means the measurement script is never loaded. Your choice is stored in this browser only, and you will not be asked again. Nothing about the site or the downloads is restricted.
To be straightforward about it: this site is served from GitHub Pages, and GitHub's servers record access times, IP addresses and browser types as part of serving any website. This project cannot switch that off. It is governed by the GitHub General Privacy Statement.
Likewise, download counts for the released packages are aggregate figures from GitHub's public API; this project cannot see who downloaded anything.
We do not sell or pass on what we collect. Google Analytics acts as a processor for the aggregation; its handling is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
Retention in Google Analytics is set to 14 months. Data older than that is deleted automatically.

The current setting cannot be shown because JavaScript is disabled.
You can also block cookies in your browser, or install the Google opt-out add-on.
The BlinkGTK library itself sends nothing anywhere. No usage statistics, no automatic crash reports, no update checks. Network traffic happens only when your application asks it to load content.
This is a design commitment. If you want to confirm it, read the source — there is no path that sends anything outward.
