No advertising or tracking cookies are used. Your browser only stores your language choice and your journey progress (finished quizzes, welcome seen). This stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can delete it at any time in your browser settings.

Visitor statistics

The site uses Lovable's visitor analytics. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn't keep IP addresses and doesn't identify visitors. It records the pages visited, where visitors came from, their country, browser, operating system and device type, how long they stay, how fast pages load, errors and clicks. This is recorded for every visitor. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy (lovable.dev/privacy) explains how it handles it.

External services

Some content is loaded from other providers. Your browser then sends them your IP address and technical data. Google Fonts (Google) for the typefaces. YouTube (Google) for videos, using the privacy-enhanced mode where possible. Euronews for one news video. Google Sheets (Google) for the proof of activities report. Hosting and the newsletter database run on Lovable's infrastructure with Cloudflare and Supabase. Some of these providers may process data outside the EU under the safeguards they offer, such as standard contractual clauses.

Children

The journey needs no personal data. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before signing up for the newsletter.
