Conversation
Secrets belong to the Worker rather than to a single version, so branch previews deployed with wrangler versions upload inherit them and were logging preview traffic as real dubsector.dev visits. Checking location.hostname before loading the tracker keeps previews and local wrangler dev out of the stats.

disableCookies traded returning-visitor accuracy for skipping a consent banner; keep the cookies and the accurate visitor counts instead.
Cookies only bought returning-visitor identification, which is close to meaningless on a single-page site with no accounts, and buying it meant adding a consent banner. Cookieless plus anonymized IPs on a self-hosted install keeps the exemption and skips the banner.
