Cookie Policy
Last updated: December 2024
Our Approach to Cookies
JP Weather Pro uses cookies and similar technologies sparingly. We don't use cookies for advertising, tracking, or behavioral profiling. We don't share cookie data with third parties. The limited cookies we do use are necessary for basic site functionality.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser or device. They allow websites to remember your preferences, recognize your device on return visits, and enable various features. "LocalStorage" is a similar technology that allows websites to store data in your browser with a larger capacity than cookies.
Cookies We Use
| Name / Type | Purpose | Duration | Data Sent to Servers? |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent (localStorage) | Remembers your cookie consent choice (accept/decline) so the banner doesn't reappear on every page. | Until you clear browser data | No — stays on your device only |
| Session cookies (if any) | May be used by our hosting provider for technical session management. | Browser session | Yes — to our hosting servers only |
What We Don't Use
We explicitly do not use the following:
- Analytics cookies: No Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Plausible, no Fathom. We don't track page views, click patterns, or user journeys.
- Advertising cookies: No Google AdSense, no programmatic advertising, no retargeting pixels.
- Social media cookies: No Facebook Pixel, no Twitter conversion tracking, no LinkedIn Insight Tag.
- Third-party cookies: We don't set cookies on behalf of third parties. We don't embed third-party widgets that set cookies.
- Tracking cookies: No device fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, no persistent user identification.
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. This banner asks for your consent to use cookies. You have two options:
- Accept: You agree to our minimal cookie use as described above. Your preference is stored in localStorage.
- Decline: You decline non-essential cookies. Since we don't use non-essential cookies, this effectively changes nothing about your experience — the localStorage preference itself is still stored to remember that you declined.
The consent banner will not reappear unless you clear your browser data. Your preference is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Third-Party Services
The only third-party service that your browser connects to is the Open-Meteo API (api.open-meteo.com) when loading weather data. Open-Meteo may use its own cookies or tracking mechanisms. We have no control over this. For information about Open-Meteo's data practices, please consult their privacy policy.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive warnings before cookies are stored. Here's how to manage cookies in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. Since we use minimal cookies, blocking them will have minimal impact on our site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since our cookie use is minimal and unlikely to change, significant updates are rare.
