Visitor count and your privacy

We keep two simple, accumulated totals: estimated arrivals at aagto.com and page views so we can see whether people are finding our guides. The counter saves only these two totals and their start date.

No visitor profiles or tracking cookies

The counter does not assign you an identifier, create tracking cookies, fingerprint your device, or save individual visits. It does not retain IP addresses, user agents, page addresses, referral addresses, location or form contents in its statistics. It sends no information to Google Analytics or an advertising service.

Your browser checks whether you arrived from another ATA page and whether this is a reload, then sends the fixed word “arrival” or “page” to our own server when a public page is viewed. The actual page and referral addresses are not included in that message. The server checks the request and filters some automated traffic, then increases the relevant totals. As with any website connection, our hosting provider receives network information and may keep ordinary access and security logs separately.

What the totals mean

The visit total is an estimate of arrivals, not unique people. Page views count pages opened, including additional pages, reloads and back/forward navigation. For example, arriving and reading five pages normally adds one visit and five page views. Private dashboards, application forms and this privacy page are excluded. Returning visitors can count again. Missing referral information and separate tabs can increase it; blockers and privacy settings can reduce it. We do not link visits together to identify repeat visitors.

Your choice

You can exclude this browser below. We also honor Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals, and exclusions or declines saved by our previous analytics controls. Using this button saves only your chosen preference in this browser’s local storage; it is not a visitor identifier. Clearing browser storage removes that preference.

The preference control loads with JavaScript. If scripts are blocked, the counter does not run.

Previous Google Analytics installation

Google Analytics was removed from our website integration on November 1, 2026. The replacement removes its accessible analytics cookies when it loads. Previously collected Google Analytics statistics remain separate from this counter. An older cached page may need a refresh to load the replacement.
