AdvertisingGoogle AdSense

Some pages show ads served by Google AdSense, which pays for the domain. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them and measure them. Depending on your choices, these ads may be personalised from your visits to this and other websites.

• Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, through Google's consent message. You can change your choice at any time from the link that message leaves on the page.
• You can manage personalised advertising in My Ad Center, or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info.

Other servicesWhat else your browser loads

• Cloudflare hosts the site. Like any web host it processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver pages and protect the site; any visitor statistics are aggregate and set no cookies.
• Google Fonts provides the typefaces, so your browser requests them from Google's servers.
• jsDelivr serves the open-source libraries and the world outline that draw the maps.
• In the World Heritage atlas, map tiles come from OpenFreeMap, and the satellite view from Mapbox when you switch it on.

Terra Ignota itself sets no cookies and keeps no database of visitors. The only thing it remembers is that you have already seen the opening sea chart, so that it doesn't play again for 30 days; that note stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

Your rightsYour choices

You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; the guides will keep working without them. If you are in the EU, you have the rights set out in the GDPR, which for the advertising data are exercised with Google.
