Viewing statistics
We keep anonymous statistics about how the stories are watched, so we can make them better: which pages people reach, which choices they make, how much of each video they watch, where they stop, how far blog posts are read, and the ratings and comments you choose to send. With them come the kind of browser and device, the screen size, the language, and the country and city your connection comes from.
- No cookies: the statistics use none.
- No personal data: no name, no email, no account. Your browser gets a random number so we can tell visits apart; it says nothing about who you are.
- No IP address stored: it is used once to find the country and city, then thrown away.
- Nobody else sees them: they go to our own service, Hawkes Gen, not to an advertising or tracking company.
Your place in the stories
Each story remembers where you are, the scenes you have found and whether you reached an ending, in cookies on your own device, so you can carry on later. We don't collect them. Clearing your cookies starts every story from the beginning.
