Most of this page exists because the honest answer is no: no uploads, no accounts, no forms, no photo ever reaching us. VisaSpecs is a reference — it publishes spec sheets. This page covers the handful of things the site does touch, in the order you’re most likely to care about them.

What your browser runs

The lookup widget and the unit converter execute entirely on your device. Selecting a country, filtering the index or converting millimetres to pixels is worked out right there — the dataset ships embedded in the page. The one thing that leaves your browser is the anonymous action count described below, and it never says which country, document or number you chose. You can load a spec page, switch off your connection, and keep using every feature; that’s the architecture, not a promise we could quietly break.

When a page loads

Pages are delivered through Cloudflare. Serving any request processes standard metadata — IP address, user agent, timestamp, the URL asked for — which Cloudflare uses to deliver content and shield the site from abuse. With no accounts and no forms, there is nothing personal for those logs to combine with.

The signals we count

A cookieless ping per page view tells us which spec pages people actually read. It carries the page address, the referring site’s host, the country the CDN reports, and how long the page stayed open — no cookies, nothing you type. Using the tools adds a ping that carries only an action’s name: spec when you pick a country or document, spec:index when you jump from the index, filter the first time you filter it, convert the first time you use the converter, and source when you follow a card to the issuing authority — never which country, document, filter text or number. Those are the only beacons the site emits, and their job is deciding which country’s spec gets reviewed next.

Advertising and the cookies that come with it

Where ads appear, they’re served by networks such as Google AdSense, which may set cookies or similar identifiers to measure impressions and — where permitted — personalize what you see. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, and blocking third-party cookies changes nothing about the reference content.

Outbound links

Every spec card ends at the issuing authority’s own page. Once you follow a link, that site’s policy governs — we send you to the source precisely so the authority answers to you directly, not through us.
