Privacy Policy

This site measures aggregate, anonymous interaction. It does not use cookies and does not attempt to identify you.

What we measure

Three event kinds only:

• click_outbound — when you follow any link to another site (a project repo, the team blog, Slack, etc.).
• click_internal — when you navigate between pages on this site (a project card, the privacy page, the back link, etc.).
• click_feedback — when you open the feedback form.

Each event records three things: the event kind, the project or page it relates to (one of the six project slugs, or site for site-wide links), and a stable identifier for the specific link. The time of the click is also recorded automatically. That is the entire payload.

How it works

When you click a tracked link, your browser fires a small JSON payload to a Cloudflare Worker vianavigator.sendBeacon. The worker writes the event to Cloudflare Analytics Engine as a single counter increment and returns immediately. The link opens its real destination directly — there is no redirect through the worker.

If JavaScript is disabled, links still work normally; the click simply isn't counted.

The worker's source code is open and readable in the/worker/ directoryof this site's repository.

What we do not track

• Cookies of any kind (this site sets none)
• IP addresses
• User agents
• Referrers
• Any identifier that could be tied to you or your device

Cloudflare, as the Worker's host, receives your IP address and user agent as part of normal HTTP routing for every request the Worker processes — the same as any web host. Theirprivacy policy applies to that routing data. We do not receive or store that information in our analytics dataset; we only see aggregate counts.

Why

Aggregate counts of which projects drew interest at WordCamp US 2026 will inform the WordPress Core AI Team's post-event report. The data helps the team decide where to focus future WordCamp content, dev-rel, and community efforts.

Retention

Event data is retained in Cloudflare Analytics Engine for 3 months (we're using the free tier). The aggregate counts will be incorporated into the post-WCUS report. The dataset can be deleted earlier on request to the Core AI Team.

Feedback form

The feedback form is hosted by Google Forms, which has its own privacy policy. This site sends only the project name as a URL parameter; Google may collect additional information per their policy.
