The Lost Moments Museum is a quiet place, and it watches its visitors quietly. This note explains what little is gathered, and why.
Consent comes first
When you arrive, nothing is measured. Analytics are switched off by default: no visit is recorded and no analytics cookie is set until you choose Accept on the notice at the foot of the page. If you choose Decline, or simply ignore it, you are not counted at all. You may change your mind at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser.
What is gathered, if you accept
With your consent, the museum uses Google Analytics, by way of Google Tag Manager, to understand in the broadest terms which halls are visited and how people find their way through the collection: the pages viewed, the rough region of the world a visit comes from, and the kind of device used. It is aggregate and anonymous, and is never used to identify you.
Cookies
The museum sets a single small cookie of its own, named lmm_consent, which remembers only whether you accepted or declined, so that you are not asked again on every visit. If you accept, Google Analytics may set its own cookies to recognise returning visits. Nothing more is stored.
What is never done
There are no accounts, no logins, and no newsletter. Your data is never sold, never shared for advertising, and never used to build a profile of you. The museum carries no advertising and follows you nowhere beyond its own walls.
Images and sources
The works shown here are drawn from the public domain, chiefly by way of Wikimedia Commons, and each exhibit credits its source. If you believe something has been used in error, please say so and it will be put right.
Asking and removing
Because the museum holds nothing that can identify you, there is little to request or to remove. If you have any question about what is kept, you may write to the curator.
