Privacy Policy
Last updated May 1, 2026. A short and honest account of what data this site collects.
Opera Almanac is a static editorial encyclopedia. The site does not run client-side JavaScript trackers, does not embed third-party analytics scripts, and does not place advertising or marketing cookies. This page sets out the small amount of data the site does process, and why.
Server Access Logs
Like every web server on the public internet, the server hosting Opera Almanac receives, and briefly retains, an HTTP access log entry for each request. A log line records the requested URL, the HTTP status code returned, the requesting IP address, the user agent string, and the timestamp. We retain these logs for operational purposes · diagnosing errors, identifying abusive traffic, and capacity planning · for no longer than thirty days, after which they are deleted on a rolling basis.
Cookies
The site does not set cookies. No advertising, analytics, session, or cross-site tracking cookies are placed by this site.
Third-Party Resources
The site loads typography from Google Fonts and includes illustrations served by the Wikimedia Commons CDN. When your browser fetches those resources, the relevant third party will see your IP address as part of the normal HTTP request. The site does not share any further information with those services. Images are served directly by Wikimedia and are not modified, fingerprinted, or proxied through Opera Almanac.
Email Correspondence
If you write to the editorial address, we retain your message and any factual material it contains for the period required to act on it, and we do not add your address to any mailing list. We do not operate a newsletter or marketing programme.
Children
Opera Almanac is a reference encyclopedia of classical opera and is appropriate for general readership. It does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any reader, including children.
Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy in any material way, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where the change is substantive, summarise the change at the top of the policy for the following six months.
