When I view the statistics generated - I have 3 categories available -

 1:   Total Visitors by :  This Hour, Last Hour, Today, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month, This Year & Last Year.

 2:   Totals by  Browsers & Operating Systems etc :  - BUT as it's control coding has not been updated since 2005 - any system released after 2005 shows up wrong  ( ie Windows Vista & 7 both show up as Windows NT etc. )  so I don't use it - I only mention it in the interests of honesty & transparency.

 3:   Totals by Country :  - which I find quite useful - it's amazing to see the reach of my site - from Africa to Russia - quite impressive when you consider I live in a mid sized town of 50,000 in the UK & it's only a Personal Site.   I DON'T do Twitter OR Facebook    The ONLY external Links INTO my site are printed on my Business Cards ) & NO ADVERTISING !!!

I've contacted the owner of Free-Counters.Co.UK by e-mail to ask if his counters use cookies & He assured me that - other than the STATISTICAL DATA  - I've mentioned above - ★★★  NO PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED  ! ! !  ★★★

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED about WHO is accessing your Browser's Data etc. I recommend you try "GHOSTERY" @ http://www.ghostery.com/  ( It's a Browser PLUGIN )  -  I use it on BOTH of my Browsers  ( IE 11 & COMODO Dragon )  & find it quite useful to see just who's looking - it displays a tidy list in the top right corner of the screen - for the duration of your choosing & IT WORKS !!!   It's user Friendly & it has it's own settings page as well.

 I hope you found this page useful.

Cheers For Now
