**Editorial Brief**
The release of `datasette-referrer-policy` 0.1 addresses two issues related to the OpenStreetMap tiles not displaying correctly on Datasette’s global-power-plants demo. The first issue was resolved by fixing a CAPTCHA that was causing problems with JSON fetch requests used by the map plugin. The second issue involved OpenStreetMap blocking tile requests from sites using `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`. To mitigate this, Simonw created a new plugin to set an alternative header value for Datasette without changing its default policy.
**Takeaways**
– A fix was implemented for JSON fetch issues in the datasette-turnstile CAPTCHA.
– An additional plugin was developed to adjust headers and avoid OpenStreetMap tile blocking.
– This showcases how nuanced referrer policies can impact integration with third-party services.
