Cookies & trackers
Cookies used
Audience measurement (Google Analytics). The site uses Google Analytics to count visits and understand how pages are used. It sets cookies (e.g. _ga) and sends technical data to Google, including a shortened IP. This is a non-essential cookie.
Local preferences (no cookie). Your theme (day/night) and language choices are saved in your browser's local storage (li_theme, li_lang). They stay on your device and are never transmitted.
No advertising or social-media trackers. The site carries no ads and no third-party advertising cookies.
Data collected
What we record
Anonymous visit counts. A simple per-venue and per-panorama counter, with no personal identifier.
AI guide conversations. The text of your questions and the guide's answers are stored, with a date and a non-reversible technical identifier derived from your IP (a truncated hash — not your IP itself). These exchanges are shown publicly and anonymously on the Questions page. Please don't enter personal data in your questions.
Reviews & contact. If you use the contact form, we keep what you provide there to reply to you.
Purpose
Why we keep this
Recorded questions and answers let us improve the AI guide: by analysing the publicly displayed responses, we refine the instructions (prompts) that shape the guide's tone and accuracy, and we compare how successive AI models answer the same questions over time. Audience measurement helps us understand which works draw the most interest.
Third parties
Who else processes data
Anthropic (Claude API, United States) — your questions are sent to Anthropic to generate the guide's answers.
Google (United States) — Analytics (audience measurement) and Google Fonts (typefaces loaded from Google servers, which receive your IP).
