Independent analytics field guide · verified 30 July 2026No vendor affiliation · how this site works
Effective 30 July 2026

A small data footprint for a measurement publication.

You can read every guide and use every tool without an account. Calculator inputs stay in the browser. Optional audience measurement remains off until you choose to allow it.

At a glance
  • No account, newsletter form, comment system, advertising pixel, or sale of visitor data.
  • UTM, campaign, rate, experiment, event-name, and checklist inputs are not submitted to slicky.click.
  • Cloudflare delivers the site and necessarily processes network requests for security and delivery.
  • Google Analytics and Clicky load only after an explicit opt-in and can be turned off through “Analytics choice” in the footer.

Site delivery and security

slicky.click is delivered through Cloudflare. Like other web infrastructure, Cloudflare processes request information such as IP address, time, requested URL, browser and device headers, and security signals to deliver content, limit abuse, and operate the network. Cloudflare’s own privacy policy and service terms govern its processing as an infrastructure provider.

The site operator can access aggregate and diagnostic delivery information through the hosting account. That information is used for reliability, security, and understanding whether pages are reachable, not for selling profiles or contacting anonymous readers.

Optional Google Analytics and Clicky

The site first presents an optional analytics choice. If you select “Keep it off,” neither analytics tag is loaded. If you select “Allow analytics,” Google Analytics and Clicky can receive the requested page, referrer, campaign parameters, approximate location, browser and device information, and measured interactions.

Advertising personalization and Google Signals are disabled in the Google configuration. After consent, Clicky’s standard visitor mode may process the network address and use analytics cookies to distinguish visits. Clicky also records pageviews, campaign attribution, outbound links, downloads, engagement pings, and click coordinates used to build heatmaps. The site sends named events for 50% and 90% scroll depth, 30 seconds of visible reading, completed tools, and copied tool results. It does not send tool inputs or calculated outputs with those events.

The choice is stored in localStorage underslicky-analytics-consent so the site can remember it. Clear site storage to reset the choice, or reopen the panel from the footer and select the preferred option. Selecting “Keep it off” after a prior opt-in records denied Google Analytics storage and reloads the current page without either analytics tag, terminating Clicky’s active engagement pings.

Browser-based tools

Form values entered into the six measurement tools are processed by JavaScript in the current browser tab. The forms do not send those values to a slicky.click endpoint, save them to an account, or place them in the page URL. A copied result goes only to the browser clipboard after the copy button is selected.

Normal network delivery still records that the tool page was requested. If optional analytics is allowed, a pageview can show that the tool page was opened and a named event can show that a calculation or copy action occurred. Custom form values and calculated outputs are not sent as analytics event values.

Fonts, images, and external links

Fonts and editorial images are hosted with the site, so reading a page does not require a request to a font or stock-image provider. Source ledgers link to external standards, regulators, documentation, and vendor sites. Following an external link sends a request to that site, which applies its own privacy practices.

Retention and access

Browser consent choice storage remains until it is cleared or replaced. Cloudflare, Google, and Clicky control portions of infrastructure and analytics retention under their service settings and policies. Operational access is limited to people responsible for the site and its hosting and analytics accounts.

This holding edition does not yet publish an external privacy-request inbox. It also does not operate user accounts or intentionally collect identity through forms, reducing the site-specific records that could be searched by a supplied identity. This notice will be revised before any account, subscription, contact form, or commercial product is introduced.

Changes

Material changes receive a new effective date and a summary in the correction log. The page will be updated before a new analytics provider, advertising tag, form, account system, or commercial service is activated.
