Privacy: analytics, cookies and the contact form
Draft: this page has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. We will replace it with the reviewed version.
What we measure
- We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use this site: which pages are viewed and for how long, the type of device and browser, the approximate region, and the page you came from.
- Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. We use the results only as statistics and do not use them to identify you.
Who receives the information
- The information is sent to Google LLC. How Google uses it: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Page view counts for “Most viewed”
- When you open a spot page, we count one view per person per day to rank the most viewed spots.
- We do not store your IP address. We keep only a one-way code that changes every day, and delete it after a few days.
How to opt out
- You can block cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Contact form
