This website uses Cloudflare for DNS, hosting, security, and processing analytics data.

Cloudflare may automatically collect technical information from visitors, such as your IP address, browser type, and general location (such as country or region).

OpenAccess Telemetry is a privacy-focused system used to understand how people use this website — without compromising privacy.

Most websites use Google Analytics, which can be invasive and tracks users across the web. OpenAccess doesn’t use Google Analytics.

OpenAccess Telemetry collects data such as:

• IP address
• city and country (based on IP)
• user agent string
• the page you visited
• when you leave a page
• clicks on elements
• the duration of the visit
• scroll position.

OpenAccess Telemetry does not use cookies. The only information it stores in your browser is an anonymous session ID kept in sessionStorage, which automatically deletes when you close your browser.

OpenAccess Telemetry does not track you across sessions, devices, or websites. We don’t share data with third-party advertisers or analytics providers.

OpenAccess Telemetry stores data in Axiom. For more information, refer to the Axiom Privacy Policy.

If you want to stop the transmission of OpenAccess Telemetry data, you can opt out with this link: switch off telemetry. Opting out disables OpenAccess Telemetry but does not affect technical data collected by Cloudflare.

You can re-enable telemetry with this link: switch telemetry on.

If you opt out, your browser will store the preference in localStorage and it will persist across browser sessions until you clear localStorage.
