You do not need the full user agent, so we do not store that either.\nTo tell one visitor from many, Linkaloo makes a visitor hash with a salt that changes every day. It can count a person once for a day. It cannot follow them across days.\nBots and link previews are flagged and shown apart, so a chat app fetching your link does not look like a hundred readers."

   "content_text": "Short links get shared on screens, in videos and on paper. They look best when they are only the ending you chose.\nMany tools add a reference or a campaign tag to the link itself. The link grows, and what people see is the tool's idea of tracking.\nLinkaloo does it the other way round. You set the tags once. The visitor opens the short link as you made it, and Linkaloo adds the tags to the page the visitor lands on. The click is counted at the redirect, so you do not need anything extra on the link to know it happened."
