Overview

IsosLinux is an independent Linux ISO directory. The site helps users find official Linux distribution download pages, ISO links, torrents and related resources.

News readership statistics

News pages send a same-origin request when visible, including the article, language, category and a coarse source category. We do not set analytics cookies or store raw IPs, full user agents or referrer URLs in news statistics. A keyed pseudonymous identifier changes daily (Europe/Madrid) and estimates daily readers; it cannot identify unique people across days. News statistics are retained for 90 days and older rows are removed on the next recorded visit. We respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control for this measurement and exclude known bots, link previews and browsers carrying an administration session. Opening an article does not prove it was read in full. Standard server logs are separate from these statistics.

Information we may collect

When you visit IsosLinux, the server may process basic technical information such as:

IP address
Browser and user agent
Visited page URL
Referrer URL, when provided by your browser
Date and time of the request
Download button clicks, used for public popularity statistics

How information is used

This information may be used to:

Maintain site security
Detect abuse, bots or broken requests
Measure general site usage
Improve Linux distribution pages and download links
Show public aggregate statistics such as popular downloads

Cookies

IsosLinux may use essential cookies for administration and login security. Public visitors do not need an account to browse the site.

External links

IsosLinux links to external websites maintained by Linux distribution projects and third-party tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

Advertising, affiliates and donations

IsosLinux may add donation links, sponsorship options, affiliate links or advertising in the future. If affiliate links or sponsored placements are used, they should be presented clearly and transparently.

Privacy-friendly activity statistics

Tools statistics count catalogue clicks, page openings and initiated operations, with completion, error or cancellation events. Browser-reported operations are distinguished from server-observed checks. No tool inputs, passwords, files, queried targets or results are stored by this analytics feature. Daily HMAC identifiers use a 90-day retention window; older Tools records are removed on the next accepted collection event. No analytics cookies or browser storage are used. Tools analytics respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control.

IsosLinux replaces visitor and downloader IP addresses with non-reversible HMAC identifiers before storing analytics data. Human traffic and automated crawlers are classified separately.

Detailed page-view records are retained for up to 90 days. Longer-term reports use aggregated daily totals. Public statistics never expose individual identifiers, full user agents, IP addresses or account information.

Country information is derived before the original address is discarded and is used only for aggregated statistics.
