Cookies
Run with Foxes Limited
The short version: this site sets no cookies. We do use analytics, but the cookieless kind, so we can see that a page was visited without knowing who visited it. We do not use Google Analytics, we run no advertising pixels, we do not build a profile of you, and we do not sell data.
What we measure
We use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views and tells us roughly where visitors arrived from. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. Instead of following a person, it works from a scrambled version of the request your browser makes, and that scramble is thrown away and rebuilt every day. The practical effect is that you cannot be recognised tomorrow, and you cannot be recognised on any other website.
What we see is counts: how many people read a page, which pages, and which link or site sent them. It tells us whether something we wrote was worth writing. It does not tell us who you are.
What we do store
To make the site work, we keep a small amount of information in your own browser. It stays on your device, it is not sent to us as part of a tracking cookie, and it is never shared. There are three things:
- Book access. Once you unlock the free book download, we remember it so you are not asked to sign up again on the same device.
- Chat. If you close Isa, our chat assistant, we remember that so she does not reopen during the same visit.
- Research reference. If you arrive through a research link, we keep a short reference so a call or interview can be matched to the right study.
This is strictly functional storage. It keeps the site working and remembers your choices. It is not used to track you across other websites.
Managing it
You can clear this at any time through your browser settings, by clearing site data for runwithfoxes.com. Nothing breaks if you do. You may just be asked to sign up for the book again, or see Isa reopen on your next visit.
