Arguably this can become personally identifiable, much like a persons height of 7 feet becomes personally identifiable. How many 7 foot people live in Elko Nevada? (I have no idea, perhaps there's an entire colony of them.) But most very tall people, well, stand out. "You're that tall guy from Elko!"
Early on, it's not personally identifiable. No doubt there can be a lot of folks visiting the site only 10 times and never again.
But as someone continues to visit, they begin to narrow down who they are to "You're that guy that comes in here every day with a yellow hat". They may not "know" who you are but, they "know" who you are.
Eventually, there may be that one person that has the highest hit rate, who always stands out.
- Spivak 4y ago> You're that guy that comes in here every day with a yellow hat Yes but you have absolutely nothing at all to associate that back to a person. Where are you going to find the data "personal information of some kind of the people who visit your site a lot?" You're not collecting it.
