GitHub may store information about your visit in the form of log files.\n\nFurthermore, this site uses a self-hosted instance of [Plausible Analytics](https://plausible.io) located in Singapore. Plausible Analytics is a lightweight and open source web analytics platform for website traffic analysis. We do not track, collect nor store any personally identifiable information; Plausible Analytics collects only aggregated information, which does not allow us to identify any visitor to our website.\n\nThis information is collected to understand how users interact with the Codec Wiki and improve our efforts to better suit the needs of these users.\n\nWe do not employ the use of cookies. The following information is collected:\n- Page URL\n- HTTP Referer\n- Browser & Browser Version\n- Operating System type & version\n- Device type\n- Country, region, & city\n\nGiven this information, we ensure:\n- Analytics data is not shared explicitly with advertising companies or any other companies in general. It was made available to everyone for free on a public analytics page that is no longer available.\n- Analytics data isn't explicitly sent to any third parties\n- Analytics data is not monetized\n\nAs a wiki dedicated to making multimedia codec knowledge more accessible, analytics information was made public via that former analytics page.\n\nYou may opt out with various means of ad & tracker blocking. An example would be [UBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/), which blocks our analytics script.\n\nIf you have any questions, comments or concerns, you may reach out to site maintainer Gianni Rosato via [grosatowork@proton.me](mailto:grosatowork@proton.me).\n\n*Last updated 12 September 2023*\n\n</details>\n"
