We don't watch you.
Pen-Based Computing History Museum runs no third-party analytics, no advertising pixels, and no behavioral tracking. The only data we process is the functional information a web server needs to deliver a page. We ask for your consent because some pages embed video and other content from third-party services that can record your visit independently of us.
What we
collect.
Functional data
Standard request information, retained briefly.
IP address, browser user-agent, the page requested, and the referring page. This is the same information any web server records by default. We use it to serve pages, rate-limit abuse, and diagnose errors. Access logs rotate on a short schedule. We do not join this data to any identity, do not share it, and do not sell it.
What we don't collect
No analytics, no pixels, no fingerprinting.
No Google Analytics. No Meta Pixel. No Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight, or similar trackers. No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking. No browser fingerprinting. We do not build profiles of visitors, and we do not have a marketing list compiled from this site.
Why we ask for
consent.
EV
Embedded video
YouTube players appear on artifact, person, and organization pages. When a player loads, the video service can set its own cookies and log the request under its own privacy terms, independent of this site.
OL
Outbound links
Certain pages may contain external links, which are clearly identified. Following a link hands you off to that site under its own privacy terms — we have no visibility into what happens after the click.
Your
choices.
Withdraw consent
Your consent choice is stored in your browser. Clear this site's data in your browser settings and the next visit will ask again — there is no server-side profile to delete.
Requests and questions
Any data question, request, or correction — email john@jerney.com and we'll respond directly.
