Global edge delivery network and server logs

To ensure rapid global page load times, high reliability, and robust cybersecurity, this website is hosted and distributed through an international edge content delivery network (CDN) and reverse proxy. When you access any page, your connection is routed through geodistributed edge nodes located closest to your physical location.

Information processed by edge nodes

When your browser requests a resource from our website, edge servers automatically receive and process technical data transmitted by your client. This technical connection data includes:

  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address (which may be processed in truncated or anonymized form for security metrics)
  • Date and exact timestamp of the request
  • Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and specific webpage requested
  • HTTP status code and volume of transmitted bytes
  • Referrer URL (the webpage from which you navigated to our site)
  • Browser type, browser engine version, and client operating system
  • Security connection parameters (including SSL/TLS handshake protocol and cipher suite)

Purpose of technical processing

The processing of this technical information is necessary to deliver the requested website files to your device, optimize content caching, prevent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, detect and mitigate malicious bot traffic, and enforce Web Application Firewall (WAF) filtering.

Data retention

Edge access and diagnostic log data are retained only for the short duration necessary to ensure network stability, troubleshoot technical incidents, and detect security threats. Log data is stored in isolated, secure network facilities and is automatically purged on a regular cycle. It is not merged with other data sources or used to build personal user profiles.

Third-party advertising and cookies

To support the substantial costs of ongoing cultural research, web hosting, and global network distribution, we may partner with third-party digital advertising networks and advertising technology providers to display advertisements on our website.

Use of cookies and tracking technologies

Third-party advertising partners and ad servers may place, read, or utilize cookies, web beacons (pixel tags), scripts, and unique mobile/device identifiers on your browser when ads are displayed on our pages:

  • Cookies: Small text files stored on your device that enable advertising technology to recognize your browser, record ad impressions, and prevent showing you the same ad repeatedly.
  • Web beacons and pixel tags: Transparent graphic elements or code snippets used to track engagement, count page views, or measure the performance and reach of advertising campaigns.

Personalized vs. non-personalized advertising

  • Personalized advertising (interest-based ads): Where permitted by applicable law and subject to your consent, third-party advertising partners may use cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet. These systems build generalized interest categories to display ads relevant to your preferences.
  • Non-personalized advertising: If you decline consent or opt out of personalized advertising, ads will still be displayed, but they will be selected based solely on contextual criteria (such as the content of the current page you are viewing, general geographical location at city/region level, or current device characteristics).

Local storage and user preferences

Our website utilizes browser local storage solely for non-tracking, functional user experience preferences—specifically to remember your chosen visual theme (light mode or dark mode) across page navigations. This preference is stored locally within your browser client, is never transmitted to our servers, and contains no personally identifiable information.

Email communications

If you contact us by email at [email protected], we process your email address, your name (if provided), and the content of your message to respond to your inquiry, correct an editorial error, or process your feedback.

Our pages include hyperlinks to external third-party websites, including museums, universities, image databases, and academic references. When you click on an external link, you leave our site, and the privacy policies of the respective external operators apply. We have no influence over data processing on third-party websites.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological advancements, operational enhancements, updates to our edge delivery infrastructure, or statutory legal changes. The latest version will always be accessible on this page, with the revision date clearly indicated at the top.
