The Republic records aggregate article page loads by day. It does not create visitor profiles or store IP addresses, browser fingerprints or personal identifiers in its readership database. These counts represent page loads, not unique readers.
When your browser sends Do Not Track, the page does not submit a readership count. No advertising or third party analytics scripts are used.
A session storage flag prevents one small correction from appearing repeatedly. It stays in your browser. The “leave it unresolved” interaction collects nothing.
