Privacy and analytics

Analytics

The site loads PostHog, a product analytics service from PostHog, Inc., on every visit. Before you choose, and if you decline, PostHog runs without cookies and without local or session storage. It does not save an identifier in your browser. It sends the page you view, the site that referred you, campaign parameters in the link (such as utm tags), and clicks that leave the site, for example Google Maps, Instagram, Wolt, and menu links.

PostHog can count those visits with a daily hash of your IP address and browser, calculated on its servers. The hash changes every day and cannot be turned back into those values. It is not stored in your browser. When PostHog counts visits this way, it does not add an approximate location to the event.

If you allow analytics, PostHog stores a random identifier in a cookie and in your browser's local storage, so visits from the same browser can be counted together. It then also sends your clicks and actions in the guide (such as opening a restaurant, changing filters, opening directions, copying a link, or asking for your location, but never the location itself), errors that happen on the page, and short technical logs about whether the map, restaurant details, and location requests worked. PostHog receives your IP address, which it uses to estimate your approximate location, and your browser, device, and screen size.

This data is stored on PostHog's servers in the United States. Session recordings, heatmaps, and surveys are switched off.

The cookie is optional. You can withdraw that choice at any time below. Withdrawing deletes PostHog's cookie and stored identifier. Visit counts without that identifier continue. The site remembers your choice in your browser's local storage so it doesn't ask again. That entry is not an analytics identifier.

Services the guide needs

Cloudflare hosts the site and processes your IP address and request details to deliver and protect it.

The map comes from Apple Maps (MapKit JS). Your browser loads it from Apple, which receives your IP address and the map area you view.

Some restaurant pages show posts embedded from Instagram, which loads them from Meta's servers.

"Use my location" asks your browser for your position. It stays in your browser to sort places by distance and is never sent to us or added to links.
