Privacy policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

Location

When you tap the “Why does this spot matter?” button, your browser asks for permission to use your location. That location is used only on your device to work out which places are nearby. It is never sent to our server and is not recorded.

Data stored in your browser

The site remembers the era you last selected in your browser (localStorage), for convenience when you come back. This data stays on your device, and you can delete it by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Visitor statistics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies, and Google Analytics to see overall visit statistics such as the number of visitors, the pages viewed and how people find the site. Google Analytics uses Google cookies (such as _ga). We do not send your name, email or anything that identifies you to Google. You can turn off Google Analytics collection with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising and third-party cookies

This site may show ads from Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings and read how Google uses data on Google’s policy page

Fonts and external links

All fonts are hosted on this site itself and are not loaded from outside providers. Pages link to external websites such as Google Maps and news sources, which have their own privacy policies.

Contact form

When you send a message through the contact form, the name, email address and message you enter are stored with Typeform, our form provider. We use them only to reply to you; we never publish or sell them. To have your data deleted, ask through the same form.
