This page explains exactly what happens on www.aucklandcounselling.nz when you read it: a small amount of visit data is counted, no personal information is collected, and no account or contact channel exists on this domain. Read on for how the counting works and what it means when you follow a link away from this site.
How visit counting works on this domain
When someone arrives at this site from a search engine, a first-party visit beacon records a few basic details: the page path, the type of event, the name of the referring search engine, and the text of any outbound button that gets clicked. This information is used only to count page views and clicks on outbound buttons — nothing more. It is not used to build a profile of any individual visitor and it is not shared with advertising networks, data brokers, or outside analytics services.
To stop a single page view from being counted more than once, the site keeps one flag in the browser for the current session. This flag is not a persistent identifier: it does not survive beyond the session, and no other browser storage is set. There is no cookie involved. Because the beacon only fires when a visitor arrives from a search engine, browsing this site directly or from a bookmark does not trigger it at all.
Every page on this site is self-contained: the fonts are embedded locally and every file a page needs comes from this domain, so nothing is fetched from or shared with an outside host while a page is displayed. The site itself is a set of static files served by a content delivery network, which handles the technical details of each request as the hosting provider — this is a hosting mechanic, not a personal-data collection practice.
This site does not collect names, e-mail addresses, account identifiers, or payment details. It has no login, no registration, and no user account, and it does not retain personal data about any individual visitor. There are no forms anywhere on the site, so there is nothing to submit and nothing that could be stored beyond the anonymous counting described above.
What happens when you follow an outbound link
Some pages include outbound links to third-party sites. When one of these links is followed, the click first passes through a first-party outbound redirect hosted on this domain, which is how the outbound button text gets included in the visit count described above. From there, the visitor's browser is sent on to the partner site. This site does not share any stored visitor data with the partner at that point — the partner's own site receives the request directly from the visitor's browser and keeps its own separate record of it.
This distinction matters because this page can only describe what happens on www.aucklandcounselling.nz itself. Once you leave through an outbound link, you are on a separate site with its own practices, and this page has no visibility into and no control over how that destination handles what it receives. Nothing here should be read as a description of, or a guarantee about, any linked site's behavior.
There are no contact channels on this site — no listed way to reach anyone connected with it — and no external subresources are loaded on any page. Combined with the absence of forms, this means there is no channel on this domain through which personal details could be typed in, submitted, or transmitted in the first place. If you choose to interact with a linked partner site, treat it as an entirely separate destination with its own separate handling of whatever you provide there.
