LINKTIMER GUIDE

Privacy-first analytics for expiring links

Useful measurement does not require turning every link into a visitor-identification product. LinkTimer focuses on aggregate operational signals.

What this option gives you

Aggregate reporting

Dashboards show totals, conversions, and grouped dimensions.

Pseudonymous uniqueness

Daily salted hashes estimate unique human activity.

Bot visibility

Automation is separated so it does not inflate human engagement.

Practical use cases

Internal measurement

Track whether a temporary route is being used.

Event QR

Compare scan activity with other traffic channels.

Client reporting

Export CSV or JSON and create a read-only report link that expires.

Regional planning

Use available country and language hints in aggregate.

How it works

  1. Create an eligible managed link

    Advanced analytics requires authenticated paid or gifted access.

  2. Share through the intended channels

    QR links include a channel marker.

  3. Interpret cautiously

    Treat geography and uniqueness as estimates, not identity facts.

Important limitation

Pseudonymous data can still have privacy implications. Organizations remain responsible for notice, consent, retention, and lawful processing where required.

Frequently asked questions

Are unique visitors exact?

No. They are privacy-oriented estimates.

Can a person appear more than once?

Yes, across devices, days, or changing network conditions.

Is city data always present?

No. It depends on available infrastructure headers.

Can I share a report without dashboard access?

Yes. Authorized analysts can create a read-only snapshot link with a server-enforced expiry.

Authoritative external resources

These links provide additional context from the destination provider or recognized security resources. External sites are responsible for their own content and policies.
