Publisher's information:
The page counter is an invisible 1x1 pixel image that allows us and our authors to know when and where our content is republished. If you use the Republish button, you will be capturing the page counter.
If you need it on its own, the page counter can be accessed by clicking Republish then the Advanced tab. This might be useful for republishers who: ....
- need to embed the counter as a widget to make it work in their CMS;
- need the script form because their CMS is set to cache the pixel.
You can use either the image, script, or iframe tag version of the page counter.
If the counter creates giant white space in an article, add style="border:0; height:1px !important; width:1px !important;" into the tag to override the spacing.
The page counter does not collect user data or personal information. Data the page counter collects are:
that are a referral has occurred, so we know what site republished the article;
the IP address, which we use for city-level geo-locating;
user-agent, so we can exclude bots;
and a random cookie ID, so we can eliminate duplicate pageviews.
The page counter is distinct for every article, including a unique ID number for that article. If you’re copying the code from another article or a saved template, be sure to update the ID number in the code. You cannot reuse the exact same code without updating it.
