Cookie-free audience measurement
echoblic counts page views, the referring site (domain name only), the device type (computer or phone) and display speed. These figures are aggregated per day and per page; no cookie, no identifier, and the IP address is not kept. It therefore cannot follow you from one page to another.
Advertising and consent
The advertising spaces are currently empty. If an ad network or any other non-essential tracker is added, a window will first ask for your consent; refusing will be as easy as accepting, and you can change your mind at any time with the “Manage my choices” link.
