Today’s website owners understand:
Things have changed.
Visitors to your site don’t want invisible spies watching them and taking notes on everything they do.
If you, the site owner, want to know something about them, just ask.
And if they want you to know, they’ll tell you.
When your visitor sees this frame on your site, they’ll know your site represents the kind of business they want to have a relationship with – because they can see that you respect their privacy.
And they’ll appreciate the integrity and courtesy that sets you apart.
No Tracking Pixels or Beacons
Today’s internet has become infested with hidden trackers — tiny “pixel beacons,” scripts, and device tracking tools designed to follow you without your knowledge.
As a Member Enterprise of The Authenticity Alliance, the operator of this website uses no tracking pixels, no beacons, and no covert identity-reporting mechanisms of any kind.
If we want to know something about you, we’ll ask. We won’t spy.
The Spyfree
Association
Banishing Tracking Pixels and Beacons
The modern internet is filled with hidden trackers — tiny “pixel beacons,” scripts, and device tracking tools designed to follow you without your knowledge.
Members of The Spyfree Association commit to using no tracking pixels, no beacons, and no covert identity-reporting mechanisms of any kind on their websites and landing pages.
If we want to know something about you, we’ll ask. We won’t spy.
Get Involved
Let your users know that you respect them.
Tracking pixels undermine trust by silently transmitting information about visitors to companies they never chose to interact with. We reject that model. Our members’ commitment requires that their users’s identity remain their own—not a data point for ad networks.
Members of The Spyfree Association agree to, and commit to, a policy which assures that their websites will not use hidden devices on their websites whose purpose is to gather information on visitors to the site without their knowledge, and will prominently display this notification on the site:
Many users don’t know about tracking pixels and are surprised when they learn about them. By calling your users’ attention to the practice you’ll be providing a bit of evidence that you respect their privacy – and you’ll be implicitly inviting them to look for evidence that other sites also provide such evidence.

Many users don’t know about tracking pixels and are surprised when they learn about them.
By calling your users’ attention to the fundamentally dishonest practice, you’ll be providing a bit of evidence that you respect their privacy – and you’ll be implicitly inviting them to look for evidence that other sites also provide – or don’t provide – such evidence.
Regulatory Alignment Statement
(Expanded Version for Privacy Policy Pages)
Regulatory Alignment and Responsible Data Practices
Our organization is committed to privacy-respectful design and to alignment with leading global data-protection standards, including:
- GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)
- ePrivacy Directive and forthcoming ePrivacy Regulation
- CCPA/CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act / Privacy Rights Act)
- Comparable privacy and data-minimization laws in other jurisdictions
To support these commitments, we have adopted a strict policy of non-surveillance web operation. This website does not deploy tracking pixels, 1×1 beacons, third-party analytics scripts, fingerprinting tools, or any mechanism intended to secretly profile, identify, or follow visitors across contexts.
We process only the minimal information necessary to deliver the services you request, and we do so in a manner consistent with the Authenticity Alliance’s emphasis on authenticity, accountability, and quiet-enjoyment digital infrastructure.
