Privacy

You can read every fact page and play every quiz on Footnoted without signing up: there are no accounts, comment threads, newsletters, adverts or analytics, and no cookies are set.

What is collected

• By Footnoted: nothing. The fact pages are static files, and the only script on them is the quiz itself, which counts no visitors.
• Your quiz answers: the quizzes run entirely in your browser. Answers and scores are never sent anywhere and disappear when you leave or reload the page.
• By our host, Hostinger: its servers keep the usual request logs (IP address, time, page requested) to deliver the pages and protect them against attacks. Hostinger's address is in the legal notice.

Images and fonts

The maps, engravings and photographs are copies kept on Footnoted's own server, so viewing them contacts no outside image service. The typefaces (Libre Caslon and Public Sans) are served from this site itself too, so no font request goes to Google or any other third party. Picture sources are listed on the photo credits page.

Links to other sites

The references under each fact page lead to encyclopaedias, museums, agencies and journals, so that you can check a figure yourself. Once you follow one, that institution's own privacy policy applies.

Questions

Something in this policy unclear? Footnoted takes questions by letter, sent to the address that our legal notice gives.
