Account preferences and consent-required visits

Signed-in users can save an Experience and privacy mode on the account page. Latest and Greatest is the recommended default and allows browser-side third parties when the current visit permits them. No 3rd Parties is the stricter path: it keeps browser-side third parties off and makes Geotrackable rely on hosted maps only.

Signed-in users can also save a preferred map source. Google Maps first and OpenStreetMap first are preferences, not promises. If the preferred provider is unavailable, the site falls back to the other allowed provider. If the visit needs consent and that consent has not been granted yet, or the request came from a private-network or otherwise unresolved IP, Geotrackable forces the stricter hosted-maps path for that visit.

Visit-level privacy prompt

The visit-level privacy prompt is mainly for signed-out or otherwise unresolved visits.

If the effective experience mode is No 3rd Parties, or the visit is in a consent-required region without granted consent, Geotrackable keeps analytics essential-only and does not load the Google Analytics browser tag for that request.

If someone later creates an account after making that visit-level choice, the first account setup can start from it once. After sign-in, the saved account settings become the durable source of truth and signed-in pages use those saved settings instead of reopening the visit prompt every time.

Hosted maps only keeps the browser on Geotrackable

If the signed-in user chose Hosted maps only, chose No 3rd Parties, or the current visit still needs consent, Geotrackable can serve map tiles through its own /maps/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png route. That keeps the browser on Geotrackable-owned URLs while the hosted map stack does the tile work behind the scenes.

When browser-side third parties are allowed, the map provider can still see normal website request details such as your IP address, browser type, time of request, and which map area you asked to view. When the stricter path wins, Geotrackable can stay on its own hosted map URLs instead.
