FlagAtlas (flagatlas.co.uk) is a free educational website providing interactive flag-based learning tools, country information, flag history, quizzes, games and printable resources. It is operated as a personal project.
FlagAtlas does not require visitor accounts or sign-ups. We do not sell personal information. Advertising and related third-party services may involve the use of cookies, similar technologies and limited information as described below.
FlagAtlas does not ask visitors to provide their name, email address, age or other identifying information in order to use the site.
However, when you visit the site, our hosting provider and third-party services may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested and standard server or security logs. This information may be processed to deliver, secure and improve the website.
FlagAtlas does not use Google Analytics or sell personal information to third parties.

FlagAtlas itself does not use cookies to create visitor accounts or to sell or share personal information. However, cookies, local storage or similar technologies may be used by third-party services operating on the site, including Google advertising services.
Google AdSense may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers to deliver, measure and report advertising. Google may use information about visits to this and other websites to help select and measure advertisements. Depending on the user's choices and applicable requirements, ads may be personalised or non-personalised.
Non-personalised ads are based primarily on contextual information rather than a user's previous activity, but Google states that cookies or similar identifiers may still be used for frequency capping and aggregated reporting.
Where consent is legally required, FlagAtlas will ask for the relevant permissions before using advertising cookies or similar technologies for the purposes requiring consent.
FlagAtlas may display advertisements through Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited and/or its affiliates. Google and its advertising partners may collect and process information such as IP address, device and browser information, approximate location, advertising identifiers, cookie information and information about interactions with advertisements.
Advertising may be personalised or non-personalised. Personalised advertising can use information about a user's previous activity, interests or interactions to make advertisements more relevant. Non-personalised advertising does not use a user's previous activity for ad personalisation and is instead based primarily on contextual information, although certain cookies or identifiers may still be used for frequency capping and aggregated reporting.
Third-party advertising vendors, including Google and other providers selected through Google's advertising systems, may place or read cookies on visitors' browsers and may use web beacons, IP addresses or similar technologies as part of ad serving, measurement and fraud prevention.

You can learn more about Google's advertising practices and manage some advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings. You can also review Google's Privacy Policy.
Visitors in the UK, European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland may be entitled to specific choices about cookies, local storage and the processing of personal data for advertising. Where Google's consent requirements apply, FlagAtlas uses a consent mechanism designed to obtain the permissions required before relevant personalised advertising is served.
Where applicable, you can choose whether to consent to personalised advertising and other advertising-related purposes. Depending on your choices, Google may instead serve non-personalised or other privacy-preserving advertising where available.
Google requires publishers serving personalised ads to users in the UK, EEA and Switzerland to use a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. FlagAtlas will maintain the consent configuration required for the advertising services it uses.
You can also manage advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings. Browser settings can be used to control or delete cookies, although disabling cookies may affect some website functionality and advertising preferences.
FlagAtlas uses a small number of third-party services to deliver, host and support the site:
Google AdSense may provide advertisements and related measurement and fraud-prevention services. Google and participating advertising partners may process technical information and use cookies or similar technologies as described in the advertising section above.
We use Google Fonts to load the typefaces used across the site. When your browser requests a font, technical information including your IP address may be visible to Google as part of that request. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Some flag images may be loaded from flagcdn.com, a public flag image service. Your IP address may be visible to this service when images are requested. We have no control over their data practices.
FlagAtlas is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may collect standard server logs including IP addresses as part of hosting. Please refer to Netlify's Privacy Policy for details.
FlagAtlas provides educational content that may be useful to children, families and schools. We do not require children to create accounts or submit personal information.
