Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026.

At Aurora Cast, we prioritize the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect and how we use it.

1. Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)

We partner with third-party advertising vendors, such as Google AdSense, to display advertisements on our website. Google and its partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

2. Log Files

Like most websites, Aurora Cast makes use of server log files. The information inside log files includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. This data is not linked to personally identifiable information and is used purely to manage the site, track trends, and compile visitor demographics.

3. Geolocation Data

We ask for browser geolocation permissions to calculate local weather and aurora conditions for your coordinates. This location request is processed entirely on your local device or via public Open-Meteo API requests (where coordinates are transmitted). We do not store your location on our servers or share it with third parties.

4. GDPR Rights (EEA Visitors)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights under the GDPR. Because our site does not collect user registrations, names, or emails, we do not maintain personal databases. If you contact us via email, we will only use your details to answer your inquiry.
