If you choose “Essential only”, we still count page views, but anonymously and without any cookie: our system creates a code from your browser details that changes every day and can’t be traced back to you. We never store your IP address.
Third-party content
Our gallery may show videos from YouTube. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, which does not set cookies until you press play. Our pages also load fonts from Google Fonts, and our maps load map images from OpenStreetMap. These services receive your browser’s IP address when they send the files, but they don’t set cookies through our site.
