QCraft (qcraft.ca) is a small maker site operated by BrkrOps Inc., a Canadian company. There are no accounts here, no newsletter, no ads, and no third-party trackers. The only thing the site collects is anonymous, first-party visit analytics — described in full below.

First-party page analytics

We measure how visitors use qcraft.ca so we can improve it — which pages get looked at, where people land, and where they drop off. This is done with a small piece of our own JavaScript that reports back to a first-party analytics database on a Canadian server we operate. No third-party analytics service is involved — no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no Plausible, no Fathom, nothing else — and the data is never shared with or sold to anyone.

Per page view we record:

• The page path you visited (e.g. /work.html). Query strings are stripped.
• A truncated (masked) IP address and your browser's User-Agent.
• The referring URL (the page that linked you here), if any.
• Roughly how long the page stayed open (time-on-page).
• An anonymous visitor ID — the qraft_vid localStorage entry, a random identifier with no link to your name, email, or anything else.

We do not record what you type, what you click beyond page-level navigation, or any form contents. There is no session replay, no heatmapping, and no mouse tracking. Known bot User-Agents are filtered out before anything is stored.

These entries are kept for 12 months, then aggregated into anonymous monthly totals.

How to opt out: we honour the Do Not Track browser setting — turn it on and no page-analytics beacon is sent. You can also block first-party scripts with a browser extension, or email hello@qcraft.ca and we'll purge records matching your visitor ID or IP range, as required under PIPEDA.

Cookies and local storage

We don't use tracking cookies. The site uses your browser's localStorage for one thing: qraft_vid, the anonymous analytics identifier described above. Clearing your site storage removes it. No cookies are set for advertising or cross-site tracking.
