Privacy policy

We collect only what is needed to run the site: anonymous readership statistics (page views, an anonymous viewer identifier stored in your browser, device type and approximate country when available), and the language you choose. Weather forecasts using your precise location are requested only after you grant permission in your browser and the coordinates are not stored.

Advertising and analytics

Advertising on this site is served primarily by our own system. When our own inventory does not have an eligible ad for a given slot, Google Ad Manager may fill it instead. Third-party network creatives always run in an isolated frame and never run arbitrary code in the main page.

Where enabled, we also use Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel to understand readership and measure advertising, and Google Ad Manager's own advertising identifiers for ad delivery and remarketing (showing you a related ad on other sites you visit). These tools are provided by Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc.; using them means some data about your visit (such as pages viewed, device type and an advertising identifier) is shared with those companies under their own privacy policies.

These tools only run after you consent using the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can change your choice at any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Declining still gives you full access to the site and to non-personalized advertising.

With consent, we also build an anonymous reading-interest profile (which categories you read most) from your own pageviews, used only to show more relevant recommendations and ad targeting. This profile is tied to an anonymous identifier in your browser, not to your name or email — we do not currently offer reader accounts.

We do not sell personal data.
