Saying who brought you stores two public @handles. That page is public, and it stays unconfirmed until the real account says yes.

Connecting X stores the login, the @handle X returns, and the name and photo on that login. You can’t type someone else’s handle.

A confirmed name doesn’t change. We don’t post to X for you.

A visit stores a random id and the page, so the live count and the all-time visitors can exist. That id is not your X account.
