We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate usage of the Vektos website, such as page views, visited pages, referral information and general technical information about how the site is accessed.

We collect pageview analytics only, without custom analytics events. Query strings and URL fragments are removed before pageviews are sent, and unknown routes are excluded.
Our implementation does not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or advertising pixels.
