Boring Legal Text

Privacy, the short version

We don't use Google Analytics, Meta pixels, Hotjar or any other third-party trackers. The site is built with JavaScript, Python and a few other code lingos, though, and some of the libraries we use might keep a "number of downloads" on us and phone home. Sorry about that.

You are not the product.

Cookies

We only set a few tiny first-party cookies. Nothing from anyone else.

• Language: idun_heimdall_lang=en, 1 year

• Login: idun_auth (2 hours, renewed while you're active) and idun_refresh (7 days, or 30 if you tick "remember me"). Only set if you log in.

• Small UI choices: like whether you folded away an intro box, 1 year

A few things live only in your own browser's storage: dark/light mode, list or grid view, an unsaved kayak design, whether you've seen the legal notice, and a counter of how many articles you've read, so we know when to nag you about creating an account.

You can delete or block all of it in your browser settings. The site still works (logging in won't, obviously).

Our promises

• We never sell or share your data.

• Passwords are hashed. We can't read them even if we wanted to.

• Everything runs on our own VPS hosting in the EU.

The clicks we do count

We do register some clicks, in a closed loop on our own server. When you're in a session, each page you visit counts once, no matter how many times you open it. A like/heart also counts only once. Why bother? We know you're shy. To get our authors to keep making good stuff, we need to know which posts people actually read. Want to help (or roast) us? Leave a comment whenever you have an opinion.

Write for us

You're more than welcome to contribute! It can be as wild 'n crazy as you are, or just a plain report on something you've done, seen, or somewhere you've travelled. Write in your favourite language and we'll help with the translation.
