What this site collects

This site has no accounts, comment forms or sign-up forms. It sets cookies only for the analytics described below. The search box, filters, the map and the comparison list run in your browser. What you type or select is not sent to us or to anyone else.

Your location

If you choose “Use my location”, your browser asks for permission and gives your approximate position to this page only. It is used in your browser to sort places by distance and is never sent to us or stored. You can also set a starting point by tapping the map instead.

Saved comparison list

Places you add to the comparison list are kept in your browser’s local storage on your device. They are not sent anywhere. You can clear the list at any time.

Third parties

Apart from the analytics described below, all scripts, styles and data files are served from this site's own address. No fonts, advertising or social-media resources are loaded. A Content Security Policy blocks connections to any other site.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

This site uses Google Analytics 4, a service of Google LLC, to count visits and see which pages are used. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) and receives the page address, referring page, approximate location derived from the IP address, and browser and device information. IP addresses are not logged or stored by Google Analytics 4. We use the reports only in aggregate to improve the site; we do not use them to identify visitors and we do not sell or share them. You can block these cookies in your browser settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Server logs

The hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, requested page and time) for security and operations. We do not use them to identify individual visitors.

Changes

If analytics or advertising is added, this policy will be updated before it takes effect.
