This site counts visits without putting anything on your device and without following you anywhere else. That is why you have not been asked to accept anything.
Blueprint is a one-person web studio run by Douglas Bridge in Kew. If you have any question about this page, or want anything removed, email douglas@blueprintwebsitedesign.co.uk and you will get a reply from the person who wrote it.
Blueprint uses its own visitor-counting tool. Each page you open records:
That is the whole list. No name, no email address, no page-by-page trail, and nothing that identifies you personally.
There is no cookie, no local storage, and no identifier of any kind saved in your browser. Nothing about this visit stays behind when you close the tab. That is the reason there is no consent banner: consent is required for storing things on your device, and nothing is stored.
To tell two visits apart without recognising a person, your IP address and browser description are combined with a secret that is generated fresh every night, and turned into a fingerprint that cannot be reversed. Your IP address is never written down. It exists for the fraction of a second it takes to do that sum, and there is no field in the database to store one.
Because last night's secret is deleted, the fingerprint your browser produces today is completely different from the one it produced yesterday. Two days of records cannot be joined together, by anyone, including Blueprint.
The honest trade-off: this means Blueprint genuinely cannot tell whether you have been here before, and there is no returning-visitor figure anywhere. That is the price of not needing a pop-up.
The form asks for your name, business name, email address and your message, because a reply is impossible without them. It is delivered by Formspree, and the message goes to the email address above. Enquiries are kept for as long as there is a reason to keep them — an ongoing conversation, a live project, or a record of work done — and you can ask for yours to be deleted at any time.
Visit records are deleted automatically after 13 months.
The site is served by GitHub Pages. Visit counting runs on Vercel in their London region and the records are stored on Neon, also in London — so this stays in the UK rather than being sent abroad. Enquiry form messages are handled by Formspree. Nothing is sold, shared, or used for advertising, and there is no third-party tracking on this site at all.
Counting visits relies on legitimate interests: knowing which pages are read is necessary to run a small studio, and the way it is done here is about as unintrusive as measurement gets. Handling your enquiry is on the basis of taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, this site does not count your visit at all.
You can ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to it being held at all. Email the address above.
One honest limitation: because visit records cannot be traced back to a person by design, there is usually no way to find "your" rows in order to show or delete them. Anything you sent through the enquiry form can always be found and deleted, because that has your name on it.
If you are not satisfied with how this was handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
