Cookies and external services
Privacy preferences are stored in the essential wannaspot-privacy cookie for 180 days (about 6 months), only in this browser and on this site. It records the notice version, choice date and permission or refusal for Google content, without a personal identifier. Accept and Reject last equally long. Change or withdraw your choice through “Privacy choices”, also in the map menu. Withdrawal removes open panoramas but does not delete data or cookies already received by Google.
Your language choice is saved for one year in an essential cookie. Choosing System language deletes the cookie and detects your language again; unsupported languages use English.
WannaSpot uses essential cookies for sign-in, security and session continuity. It does not load analytics scripts or advertising networks. Google services may use their own cookies when opened or loaded on request. Maps are requested from OpenStreetMap when the map is visible in Explore. The homepage and list view opened directly do not load maps.
The session cookie lasts up to 14 days unless you sign out or access is revoked; authentication security cookies follow the relevant operation. Favourites are not stored in the browser.
Links to Google and sources make no requests to those services before being opened. After clicking, their privacy notices apply.
Opening map view sends your IP address, Referer and requests for images of viewed areas to tile.openstreetmap.org. See the OSM Foundation privacy policy. Spot search uses the WannaSpot database. Pressing Explore with Street View loads Google’s interactive panorama in the listing: your browser sends Google your IP address, the site’s origin and the place’s coordinates. No Street View content is requested before pressing the button. The following applies:Google privacy notice.
Any Sponsored panels are direct campaigns separate from the catalogue. They use WannaSpot-hosted content, without advertising scripts or profiling. Partner links open only when clicked; the partner’s privacy notice then applies. Panel selection may depend on the country of the places viewed, not the visitor’s GPS position.
Permission for Google content is remembered in your privacy preferences, but every panorama still requires your click. “Close Street View” removes the panorama; “Privacy choices” lets you withdraw permission and stops open panoramas. Data and cookies already received by Google follow its privacy notice.
