Last updated 3 October 2026 · Essential items only, unless you allow advertising.
These make the service work and are set without asking, because the platform cannot run without them. You can clear them in your browser at any time.

None. The platform measures itself from its own server logs and aggregate figures; no third-party analytics script runs on any page.
Public pages may in future carry advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners then use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. These cookies are set only after you choose "Allow advertising" in the banner, and never inside the signed-in app. Opt out of personalised ads at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
Ads from our advertising partners show on the public information pages (the blog and the country pages) unless you switch them off: essential only. To allow them again, open the consent banner again. Choosing "Essential only" keeps the site working exactly the same; only the ads are gone.
How we use personal data is in the Privacy Policy.
