Privacy Policy

PastWeather uses third-party services for advertising and measurement, and it stores a small amount of information in your browser to remember settings. This page explains what public pages load, what data may be processed when you search or contact the site, and where to reach us with questions.

Information we collect

  • Search inputs such as city, country, and date range when you ask us to fetch historical weather.
  • Browser-side preferences like language, theme, measurement units, recent search inputs, and whether you dismissed the consent banner.
  • If you sign in, essential authentication cookies may be used to keep your session active.
  • If you use the public contact form, the name, email address, and message you submit.

Advertising

PastWeather only loads Google AdSense when an eligible public page renders a sponsored ad slot. Sparse, utility, or otherwise low-value archive views keep Google-served ads disabled. When an AdSense slot is shown, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads based on visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data onGoogle's partner sites page.

Analytics

PastWeather loads an Umami analytics script from analytics.pastweather.info to measure page views and product events such as searches, example clicks, share actions, and feedback submissions. We use these aggregate signals to understand usage and improve the site.

Consent banner and browser storage

We show a cookie notice and store your acceptance choice in localStorage so the banner does not reappear on every visit. The site also stores theme, language, unit, and recent-search preferences in your browser for convenience.

Contact and feedback

Messages sent through the publiccontact page are validated, rate-limited, and forwarded to the site operator through a Slack webhook so they can review the request. Use that page for privacy questions, corrections, or takedown concerns.

You can manage cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies in your browser settings. If you want to control Google's ad personalisation, visitGoogle Ad Settings.
