Privacy

Every page here is a plain static file, so there isn't much to say: RailCompat does not set cookies. Nothing you do on this site gets pushed into your browser's local storage, and none of it lands in session storage either. No ad pixel rides along on any page, and the only script from outside is the visit counter described further down. You won't find a login anywhere, there's no place to leave a comment, and no form on the site asks you for anything.

Whoever hosts the files does keep the bare server logs a host keeps for anyone — enough to spot abuse and keep the lights on — but nothing beyond that gets bolted onto them, and those raw log lines never get pulled together into a picture of who's reading which page.

One thing does get counted. RailCompat uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to see which comparisons people open. Cloudflare slips a small script into each page as it goes out, and what reaches us is only totals: views per page, the sites that sent readers over, a rough country, and whether the browser was a phone, a tablet or a computer. Per Cloudflare, the tool needs neither cookies nor local storage and does not fingerprint readers. The totals tell us which comparisons are worth rechecking first. Blocking static.cloudflareinsights.com is fine too: every page still loads and reads exactly the same.

That could change one day. If anything beyond this visit counter ever gets added — a second analytics tool, an ad network — the change gets written here first, plainly, before it goes live anywhere.

When a page sends you to a manufacturer (Kato USA, Atlas, Bachmann, or whoever else gets named here), that link carries rel="nofollow noopener" and nothing tacked on to track the click; once you're on their site, their privacy policy is the one that applies, not this one.

Something to ask or flag: hello@railcompat.com reaches the RailCompat team, who keeps this page up to date. The address is a Cloudflare forward that lands in a Gmail inbox the team checks.
