2.1. Private and Protected Areas
We value your privacy and respect your need to have a search experience where no one tracks you or your behaviour. Most areas on our search engine are privacy protected and can be identified with the presence of

With this in mind you can freely browse the following areas with complete privacy:
These areas of our search engine do not require you to share any private information. What you search is only between you and your browser.
