Privacy & Cookies
We value your privacy and do not store personal data. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, the cookies we use, who else receives information, and how you can control it.
In short
- We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your choices, count visits and find page errors. We do not ask for your name, we show no ads and we do not sell your data.
- Optional cookies are off until you allow them. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
- Questions: write to Informed Kootenai at admin@nohuetterbypass.com.
Information we collect
We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address or payment details, and the site has no accounts or forms that ask for them. When you visit, our analytics and error-reporting services receive technical information, such as the pages you view, your browser and device type, and page errors.
How we use cookies
- Strictly necessary: these remember your cookie choice. They cannot be turned off.
- Analytics: these help us understand which pages people read and find page errors so we can fix them. Analytics cookies are set only if you allow them. Some measurement runs on every page without cookies.
- Content from other sites: the embedded video and the original exhibit pages load from other hosts.
The cookies and services we use
Every cookie, browser storage item and outside service the site uses is in this table.
| Name | Group | Provider | What it does | How long | You can refuse |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| nhb-consent | Strictly necessary | This site (browser local storage) | Remembers which optional tools you allowed, and when. | 12 months, then we ask again | No |
| _ga and _ga_ followed by the property code | Analytics | Google Analytics | Tell one browser from another so visits can be counted, and keep session state. | 2 years (Google's default) | Yes |
| Requests to Google (script and page-view pings) | Page-view counts (Google) | Sent on every page, whether or not you allow Analytics. Until you allow it, the pings carry no cookies and no ID that links your visits. Reject optional keeps the cookies off but does not stop the pings; to stop them, use Google's opt-out browser add-on or your browser's blocking. | No cookie; Google keeps the data under the property's retention setting | No | |
| Error reports sent to New Relic | Error monitoring (New Relic) | New Relic | Report JavaScript errors and the page view they happened on, so we can fix them. No cookie and no browser storage; always on, not a choice. | No cookie; New Relic keeps the data under the account's retention setting | No |
| Video file requests | Content from other sites | Microsoft Azure Storage | Serves the one embedded video. When you open the page with the video, the player asks this host for the video's details (such as its length) right away, before you press play; the video itself streams only when you press play. | No cookie expected | No |
| Exhibit page requests (script and font hosts) | Content from other sites | jsDelivr, Tailwind CDN, cdnjs and Google Fonts | Some original infographic pages load scripts and fonts from these hosts, only when you open an exhibit. The exhibit previews come from this site, so nothing is sent to these hosts unless you open one; once it is open, it needs them to display. | No cookie; the host sees your IP address | No |
Third-party services
We use services from other companies. Their privacy policies may differ from ours, and their own pages explain how they handle data:
- Google Analytics: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, Safeguarding your data, Cookie usage on websites and the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- New Relic: New Relic’s description of the data it collects.
- Video and exhibits: the embedded video comes from Microsoft Azure Storage (Microsoft Privacy Statement). Some original exhibits load scripts and fonts from jsDelivr, the Tailwind CDN, cdnjs and Google Fonts.
How long information is kept
We do not keep personal information. Information that third-party services receive is kept under their own retention settings, described on their pages above.
Cookie settings
No optional cookie is set until you choose. We remember your choice in your browser for 12 months, then ask again. The choice never leaves your browser.
- Your browser’s privacy signals: if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, we treat it as Reject optional. The notice still appears, with optional cookies off, and you can turn them on yourself.
- Browser settings: you can also block or delete cookies and site data in your browser’s settings. The site keeps working.
- Without JavaScript: no analytics run and no optional cookie is set.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what data an organization holds about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell your data.
