What we can and can't see

What this site does not have

• No analytics. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no beacon of any kind.
• No cookies. Not one, not even "essential" ones. There's nothing to consent to, which is why you got no banner.
• No local storage. Nothing is written to your device — no localStorage, no fingerprinting, no session IDs.
• No third-party requests. Every icon, font instruction, style, and script comes from this domain. Fonts are the ones already on your computer. Nothing is fetched from a CDN, so no other company learns you were here.
• No forms. Nowhere to type an email address, so we can't collect one. A privacy site with a "check if you've been breached" box would be collecting exactly what it warns you against.
• No ads, no affiliates, no payment from anyone we mention. Why.
• No referrer leakage. Outbound links are noreferrer, so the site you click through to isn't told you came from a page about being doxxed.

You can verify all of this. Open your browser's network tab and reload — every request should point at goincognito.org and nothing else. Or read the source; it's static HTML with one small script that draws the loading bar.

What is unavoidably visible

Here's the part that "we don't track you!" sites usually skip. Any web server sees a request in order to answer it. That means the host serving this site briefly handles your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, and which page you asked for. This is how the internet works; it isn't a choice a site can opt out of.

What a site chooses is what it does with that. Here, the answer is: aggregate counts, nothing else.

Concretely: counting happens on the server, from request totals, and we keep no per-visitor records. Your hosting provider handles the raw connection as a technical necessity, the same way your internet provider does — so if you don't want them to know you visited, that's what Tor or a VPN is for. We won't pretend a promise on this page substitutes for that.

The honest limits

• Your browser history is yours to clear. This site can't do it. Step 8 of the emergency steps shows how.
• The "Leave this site" button replaces the page so the back button won't return here. It does not erase the visit from history.
• Your network still sees the domain you connected to — your provider, your employer, or whoever runs the Wi-Fi. Encrypted DNS and a VPN change that; nothing on our end can.
• A shared or monitored device is the one situation this page can't help with. If someone has installed monitoring software, assume they can see everything, and use a device they don't control.

If we ever change this

Any change to what's collected gets written here, dated, with the old version still readable. A privacy policy you can't diff isn't worth much.
