Visiting the site and requesting weather data
Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site, which involves processing connection details such as an IP address, requested URL and browser information. Our server requests selected public products from NHC and JMA. When your browser loads an official forecast image or you open an external source link, it also connects to that source, whose own data practices apply.
Google Analytics: loaded after your choice
Google Analytics 4 is loaded only after you accept analytics in this browser. It measures visits and actions such as opening a source, changing units, following a storm or sharing a page, along with page and device context. GA4 can use cookies. Use the analytics preferences control to change your choice; rejecting analytics does not prevent access to the weather tools.
Plausible measurement through ShipSolo
The site also uses a Plausible installation at plausible.shipsolo.io for aggregate visit and interaction counts without analytics cookies. This is a separate service from Google Analytics. Basic Plausible measurement runs unless you reject analytics through this site’s preferences. Its software documentation is linked below; the link does not mean this installation uses Plausible’s own hosted service or storage location.
What remains in this browser
Browser storage remembers wind units, followed storm IDs and names, read bulletin times, and the analytics choice. These values support preferences and return-visit indicators; there is no website account or cross-device sync. You can remove followed storms through the site, change analytics preferences, or clear this site’s data in your browser. Clearing browser data can reset your choices.
Changing your choice and data already collected
The analytics preferences control is available from the site footer. A changed choice controls subsequent measurement; it does not automatically erase information already sent to a provider. Stored browser preferences remain until you change them or the browser removes the data. Provider processing and retention depend on the service and its settings; this page does not assign an unverified retention period to those systems.
Accounts, messages and future changes
The site currently has no account registration, payment checkout or email subscription form. If you choose to contact the project by email, your email provider and the receiving provider process that message. A future change to analytics, advertising or reader features will be reflected in this page; the review date identifies the version of this explanation.
