Cookies used on this website

The alt-3 website uses two external services:

  • mathjax.org to display mathematical content (formulas and equations)

  • statcounter.com to record and count visits to individual pages at alt-3.uk, and to provide us with statistical summaries of those visits.

Each of these services sets a single cookie (if cookies are currently allowed in your web browser) — as detailed below. Neither of these cookies stores personal data about you.

In particular, our use of statcounter.com is configured such that the full IP address of your computer is not recorded, and also such that no tracking is done of your individual browsing behaviour.

Our aim is to keep the use of external services and related cookies to the minimum possible, and to explain it clearly here. If you are uncomfortable with any aspect of this, though, please do not use the alt-3 site.
