Best Time to Ride has no user accounts, no advertising and no tracking cookies. We do not sell or share data about you. This page explains what is stored and why.
Visit statistics
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which works without cookies and does not follow you across websites. Our own counter records only which kind of page was opened, in which language, and the name of the website you came from (for example "google"), never your IP address.
Like every website, our web host (Hostinger) keeps standard server logs for security and operation.
Stored in your browser
Your settings (language, units), favourite spots, recent searches and downloaded weather data are kept in your browser's local storage so the site loads faster. They stay on your device and are not sent to us. You can delete them in your browser settings.
If you ask for spots near you, your location is used only inside your browser to sort the spots; it is not sent to us.
When you send us something
Photos, comments and spot or place suggestions are checked by us before anything appears on the site. We never ask for an email address. A name is optional: with a photo or a comment it is shown next to it once approved, together with up to two links you add to a photo. A name given with a suggestion is stored with that spot or place.
To stop spam we keep a hashed (scrambled) form of your IP address for at most one day. If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply. Want something you sent removed? Write to us and we will delete it.
Services your browser connects to
Some parts of the site load data directly from other services, which then see your IP address: Open-Meteo (weather and place search), OpenFreeMap and Esri (map and satellite images), Wikimedia Commons (photos), YouTube (video previews; the player, from youtube-nocookie.com, loads only when you press play), OpenStreetMap Nominatim (place names when you suggest a spot) and Cloudflare (visit statistics). Each has its own privacy policy.
