The short answer

This site counts how many people open which page, and nothing else about you. It uses Google Analytics to do the counting, and it is set up so that Analytics may not store anything on your device: no analytics cookie, no identifier, no profile that follows you from one visit to the next. There is no advertising, and no social-network button that recognizes you. There is no form to fill out, so there is nothing to send us besides an email, if you want to.

This page changed on 3 September 2026, and this is the change

Until that date this page said there was no analytics at all, and that was true. The site went live on its own address that day and measurement was switched on in the same change as this paragraph — which is the promise the last section of this page has always made, kept. What follows describes the site as it is now.

What actually happens when you open a page

Your browser asks the server for the page’s files: the text, the typefaces, and the images. The server sees the request, as any server does, and in doing so sees the IP address it came from. That is normal, unavoidable web behavior; what is avoidable is keeping that information and connecting it to you, and we do not.

Everything the page itself is made of comes from this same site. The typefaces are hosted here and are never called from an outside service. There is exactly one request to another company, and it is the measurement one described below.

The measurement, in full

The page loads Google Analytics from Google’s servers. Before it loads, the page tells it that storage consent is denied — for analytics, for advertising, for personalization, for all of it. This site never asks you to grant that consent and has no way to grant it, so the denial is permanent for every reader. In that state Analytics does not write a cookie and does not keep an identifier on your device, which is why you will not find a cookie banner here: there is no cookie to ask you about.

What it does send, once per page you open, is:

• the address of the page you are reading, and the address you came from, if any;
• your browser’s language, its window size, and the kind of device it is running on;
• and, if you save an image, the name of the file you saved.

Google receives your IP address as part of that request, the way any server you talk to does. Google’s own documentation says Analytics does not log or store IP addresses and uses them only to derive a rough location before discarding them. We cannot verify that from our side — it is Google’s statement about Google’s systems, and it is repeated here as such rather than as something we have checked.

We see the result as counts: how many people opened a page, roughly where in the world they were, and which images were saved. We cannot pick you out of it, because nothing in it identifies you.

When you download an image

The file moves from the server to your device and that is where it ends. The saving is counted — the file’s name, nothing more — because it is the only way to know which cards are worth drawing more of. There is no identifier baked into the file, no per-copy watermark, and we will never know who you sent it to.

If you write to us

An email to info@bdaynote.com stays in the inbox for as long as it takes to answer you. It never ends up on a list and is never passed to anyone.

If anything changes again

If this site ever adds advertising, or starts storing anything on your device, this page will say so in the same change, with the date — the way it just did for measurement. A privacy page describing a different site than the one you are reading is worse than not having one.
