A visitor is one browser on one day, counted with a hash of the IP and user agent plus a secret that changes at midnight UTC. We store the hash and nothing else — no cookie, no IP, no user agent, nothing that survives the night. So visitors · 7d adds up seven days of daily counts: come back tomorrow and you count twice. Known bots are dropped before anything is written.
