PRIVACY // WHAT WE COLLECT (ESSENTIALLY NOTHING)
Privacy is the P
in CROPS
Ethereum Beat measures Ethereum’s privacy properties; it also holds itself to them. It collects essentially nothing about you.
- No accounts, no personal data
- There is nothing to sign up for and no profile to build. Ethereum Beat does not ask for, store, or process any personal information — it is a read-only instrument for public Ethereum network data.
- No tracking cookies
- The site sets no tracking or advertising cookies. The only thing stored in your browser is your chosen theme, kept in localStorage and read entirely client-side; it never leaves your device.
- Cookieless, aggregate analytics
- When enabled, page-view counts come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and uses no fingerprinting or cross-site identifiers — only aggregate counts. It is env-gated: a fork or deployment without an analytics token ships no analytics at all.
- No third-party trackers or ad networks
- There are no ad networks, no social pixels, and no third-party tracking scripts anywhere on the site.
- Third-party data requests
- The live layer fetches public Ethereum RPC and Beacon endpoints (PublicNode, dRPC, 1RPC) directly from your browser to show per-slot values. Those hosts see the request the same way any website you visit does; Ethereum Beat shares nothing with them and adds no identifiers.
- Open source and self-hostable
- The entire site is MIT-licensed and public. If you would rather not rely on this deployment at all, you can run your own copy from the repository.
