How we measure

• No cookies, no visitor ids

  Event pages store nothing. We count page loads, not people. "Visits" really means visits.

• Downloads are our proxy for posts

  We count when someone saves a finished graphic. We never see the posts themselves, and we never see the photos. Photos never leave the browser.

• Visits from shared posts

  We read these from the caption link (?s=1) and the QR code (?s=qr). That's all the attribution we have, and it's enough.

• Ticket clicks

  Clicks on your ticket link. Clicks, not purchases.

• The counter on the page

  The "N people are showing up" line comes from the same download numbers. It's social proof, not an audited figure.

Everything is stored as sums per event and day. There is no per-visitor row, anywhere.
