System compatibility

I myself work with the latest version of Firefox, since that's one of the best web browser (according to TechRadar even the best), but my website also works perfectly fine in the latest version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, DuckDuckGo and any other modern web browser.
I also try to support older browsers; recently I even opened my website in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and although there were some layout issues, all content was available and even readable.

I keep a close eye on the list of browsers and systems that are being used to visit my website. This is the current top 5 used browsers and systems on this website for the past month:

Chrome logo Chrome (68.67 %)
Firefox logo Firefox (14.85 %)
Safari logo Safari (14.48 %)
Edge logo Edge (1.25 %)
Headless Chrome logo Headless Chrome (0.75 %)

Win10 logo Win10 (30.72 %)
MacOSX logo MacOSX (26.65 %)
Android logo Android (18.27 %)
Linux logo Linux (14.97 %)
  iOS (9.39 %)

Also, 73.19% uses a desktop, 26.32% uses a mobile phone and 0.49% uses a tablet.

Tracking and cookies

Since I really love privacy, this website doesn't share data with any 3rd parties.
What is stored about you? I'm glad you'd ask!

I don't like cookies, unless it's covered with milk chocolate. So no cookies are used on this website.
I do however store some anonymous data from visitors to be able to optimize the content of this website. I have to stress; there is no personal data stored, it's limited to only a few fields (see the PageHit data model). To make it readable:

ColumnPurposeDetermined by
Date/timeOld data is less relevant, but we need to know when it's old.time()
New visitorTo see the difference between page hits and visitor counts.!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])
Requested URLTo know which pages are most popular.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
CountryTo know from which countries the website is visited.A cached GeoIP database; IP is wiped after looking up the country locally.
Browser brand and versionTo know for which browsers it's best to optimize this website.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']
PlatformTo know for which operating systems it's best to optimize this website.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']
Device typeTo know for which kind of device (mobile, desktop, etc.) it's best to optimize this website.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

That's all data that is stored, which contains no personal data whatsoever.
Also, when navigating from this website to another, they can't trace the "referrer"; they can't see you came from this website. I disabled that feature.

To speed up this website, some components are loaded remotely from a CDN; jsdelivr.com. Their privacy policy also clearly states that they also don't collect any personal data.
