### Analytics is here
*October 15, 2025*
We took a new approach to analytics. This way, not only do we save on storage, but the analytics are more privacy-friendly and respectful of the user. Other analytics methods that are less privacy-friendly require you to create a new database row for each click. This is storage-heavy. Our method only creates a row for each referrer and just increments the click counter. This is very lightweight and gives you only the most important information: the referrer and number of clicks. We don't log any information about each click, like location or device type. We think this information isn't actually useful to the user. Don't forget to email us any new suggestions at hey@4ev.link.

### What makes a link 'forever'?
*October 10, 2025*
Is it considered a "forever link" if the link redirect address never changes, or if it forever redirects to its destinationeven if that destination changes?
In the new update, you can now edit your link destination, or even delete it.
So perhaps the definition of "forever" just means it never expires unless you want it to.
Analytics are coming soon. Stay posted with 4ev.link blogs.
