Information stored in your browser
The US map quiz saves your best score and time in your browser’s local storage so you can try to beat it. This data never leaves your device, and you can clear it at any time in your browser settings.
Map tiles on state pages
When you open the interactive map on a state page, your browser requests background map images (“tiles”) from OpenStreetMap’s tile servers. Like any web request, this shares your IP address and browser information with that provider. See the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy. National maps on this site do not use third-party tiles.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to measure how many people visit the site, which pages they view, how they arrived (for example, from a search engine) and the general type of device and browser used. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) in your browser to tell visits apart. We use these statistics only to improve the site; we do not use them to identify you or to show ads.
Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can block Google Analytics by blocking cookies in your browser, using a content blocker, or installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., which delivers the pages and may keep standard server logs (IP address, pages requested, browser type) for security and performance. See the Cloudflare privacy policy. We do not use these logs to identify individual visitors.
Children
The site is suitable for students. It has no accounts or forms and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13; the analytics described above are anonymous usage statistics.
