Every Lighthouse

Every standing light in America — and what it takes to visit one.

Privacy policy

Every Lighthouse is a static directory. It does not run accounts, comments, or sign-ups, and it does not collect names, email addresses, or other personal information from visitors.

Like most websites, the hosting server keeps standard access logs (IP address, pages requested, browser type) for security and maintenance.

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the site is used in aggregate — which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors are, and what kinds of devices they use. Google Analytics loads on every page and sets cookies (such as _ga) that let it tell one visitor from another across visits. We see only aggregate reports; Analytics does not give us anything that identifies you personally, and we do not combine Analytics data with any personal identity.

If advertising is enabled on this site in the future, this policy will be updated here before it is switched on, and any advertising cookies will be described on this page.
