Visitors: who looks at your website

The Visitors tab under Website shows how many people look at your website, where they come from, which pages they open and for how long. It counts without cookies and without storing anything that identifies a person.

What you see

Choose 7, 30 or 90 days at the top. The tiles give you the visits, the page views, the pages per visit and the average visit length. Below them:

• Visits per day, as a chart.
• Where visitors come from: a world map in which the countries with more visits are darker. Hover over or tap a country to see its name and visits; the table beside the map lists the same countries.
• Top cities, popular pages (with how often each was viewed), devices (phone, tablet or computer) and the websites that sent visitors.

The Overview of your website shows the visits of the last 30 days as one line that leads here. A visit counts from the first page a visitor opens until they leave; several pages in a row are one visit. The numbers appear a few minutes after the visit, and nothing is counted before your website has been published with the statistics switched on.

What is recorded, and what is not

• No cookies, nothing stored on the visitor's device. A visitor who has their browser say "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control" is not counted at all.
• No address is stored. The IP address is used for a moment to tell the country and region, on WrkLst's own server, and is not kept. The browser is reduced to phone, tablet or computer, and the website a visitor came from to its name.
• A visit is kept under a code that cannot be traced back to a person once the day has ended, so a returning visitor on another day is a new visit.
• Kept are only the pages looked at, how long, and the country, region and kind of device. Nothing goes to third parties.

On very busy days only a sample of the visits is counted; the Visitors tab says so when that happened in the period you look at.

Switching it off

Go to Settings › Website › Publishing and switch Visitor statistics off, then publish. Your website then counts nothing. The same switch turns it on again.

Your privacy policy

The privacy policy WrkLst writes for your website has a section Visitor statistics that says what is above, while the statistics are on; it leaves again when you switch them off. If you have rewritten your privacy policy yourself, read it through: it has to say that the website counts visits.
