Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

What we collect

older than is designed to work without accounts, sign-ups, or personal information. The birth year you select is stored locally in your browser (via localStorage and sessionStorage) and is never sent to our servers. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information through normal use of the site.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how people use the site and to improve the experience. These tools may set cookies and use localStorage for anonymous visitor identification. They collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and general geographic region. This data is used solely to improve older than and is not sold to third parties.

Cookies and local storage

older than uses cookies set by our analytics provider (PostHog) for anonymous visitor identification. We also store the following in your browser's local storage:

  • Your selected birth year (so you don't have to re-enter it)
  • Display preferences

All locally stored data stays on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Advertising

older than may display ads through Google AdSense in the future. When ads are enabled, Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

Third-party links

Some pages link to external sites (such as Wikipedia) for additional context. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Children's privacy

older than is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date above.
