REBELSCIENCE operates Rybbit analytics on our own server. Measurement requests go to rebelscience.club. We do not use advertising trackers, sell analytics data, or send it to an external analytics provider.
What we measure
We record pages visited, referral sources and campaign tags, approximate country, browser/device information and estimated active time and scroll progress. Country and automated-traffic detection are processed on our server. Raw IP addresses are not stored in analytics events. Network/browser information is used to derive daily rotating pseudonymous identifiers; shared networks and changing devices can merge or split estimates. We do not identify visitors by name, email or account, and session replay is disabled.
No third-party cookies are used. Measurement is limited to this site. Global Privacy Control is respected through our no-sale, no-sharing policy; it does not disable this first-party measurement. Do Not Track and the opt-out below disable browser measurement. Browser blocking may also prevent measurement.
Your choice
Your browser measurement preference is loading.
Your opt-out is saved only in this browser. Blocking site storage disables measurement. The analytics dashboard uses its own authentication cookies.
Retention
Analytics events are retained for up to 400 days. Bot records are retained for three months. Private daily backups are kept for 14 days. Operational access logs may contain IP addresses and rotate separately within three days. Previous custom analytics records are retained as a legacy archive until their retention period ends.
Videos and external links
YouTube players load when you press Play. External payment platforms and social sites apply their own privacy policies when visited. For questions, use the contact information on the About page.
Article comments
You can comment anonymously or use an optional username. Your comment and chosen name are public. We do not ask for an email address, create reader accounts or send comment notifications. If you select “Remember my name on this device,” only your chosen name is saved in this browser; unchecking it removes that saved name.
Posting uses a short maths check and limits on repeated requests. Our server stores a keyed hash of the network address for spam prevention, rather than the raw address in comment records. Temporary checks expire after 15 minutes; expired checks and request-limit records older than 24 hours are cleared during subsequent posting activity. Comments remain until removed; moderators can edit or hide them, and private moderation history retains the previous text. To request removal, use the contact information on the About page.
Optional publication notifications
Notifications are off unless you enable them with the bell and allow them in your browser. We store the browser’s private push subscription address and encryption keys to deliver new-article alerts; we do not ask for your name or email. Your browser’s push provider delivers the encrypted message. A small preference is saved in this browser to display the bell’s state; it is not an advertising identifier or cookie.
Turn notifications off through the bell to remove the subscription from our server, or revoke notification permission in your browser. Expired subscriptions are removed when the push provider reports them as unavailable. Notifications do not add background page polling, record reading activity or cache article pages.
