Evidence
Every sentence above points to one of these. Code references show the file, line:column and the short identifier that matched, never the site's code itself.
Limits
- We only see what your browser sees: code and requests on a first visit, without logging in or accepting cookie banners. What the servers do with data is invisible from outside.
- Site code is usually minified (compressed), so names are partly lost and some code may be only partly analysed.
- Some trackers only load after you accept cookies or log in, so the real list can be longer.
- We visited from a server in the United States. Sites load different trackers and cookie banners in different countries (visitors in the EU usually get a consent banner first).
- This text was written from fixed templates because no AI writer was available. It uses exactly the same evidence.
- The code reader hit its size budget on parts of 35 large bundle file(s); those parts weren't fully analysed.
Facts, not judgements: this page describes what the code and traffic show, not anyone's intent. Not financial advice. Case id puOr4gYY.
