Privacy

This site follows the Tufts Privacy Statement, which covers all tufts.edu websites. It adds three things.

Foray's previews

The medium and species pages show previews from Foray (foraybio.com), a company outside Tufts. To show one, your browser loads a script and a frame from embed.foraybio.com. Foray then receives what any website receives from a visit, such as your IP address and your browser's details, along with which medium or species the preview is for and this site's address (not the page you are on).

Visit counts

This site counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, from Cloudflare, a company outside Tufts, to see which pages are used and how well they work. Each page loads a script from static.cloudflareinsights.com that sends Cloudflare the page's address (without anything after a ? or #), the page you came from, your browser and operating system, and measurements of how the page loaded and responded. Cloudflare records which country a visit comes from, and says it discards your IP address at its nearest data center without keeping it in its databases or logs. It says the script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and does not track you across websites. Cloudflare may handle this data outside your country.

If you would rather not be counted, a content blocker that blocks static.cloudflareinsights.com stops the script, and the site works the same without it. Cloudflare describes what the script collects on its own page, and its privacy policy covers how it handles data in general.

Your theme

If you switch between the light and dark themes, your choice is saved in your browser so the next page opens the same way. It never leaves your browser. This site itself sets no cookies.
