Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are set on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Sunset Predictor uses cookies to enhance your experience, analyze site usage, and assist in our marketing efforts.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems.
  • Analytics Cookies: These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.
  • Preference Cookies: These enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization.
  • Consent: We ask for your consent to use non-essential cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features.

  • Cookie Consent: Stores your cookie consent preferences.
  • Authentication Tokens: Used to keep you logged in securely.
  • Session ID: Maintains your session state during your visit.
  • Consent Record (TCF): Stores the consent signal produced by our certified consent management platform, so your advertising choices are remembered and can be shared with the vendors you approved.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our website, for instance which pages you go to most often.

  • Firebase Analytics: Used by Google to collect anonymous usage statistics.
  • Performance Monitoring: Helps us identify and fix technical issues.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make.

  • Unit Preference: Remembers if you prefer Metric or Imperial units.
  • Theme Preference: Remembers your preferred color theme.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you. In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland they are set only after you consent through our certified consent management platform, and personalized advertising is never shown without that consent.

  • Google AdSense: Used to serve and personalize ads. May track browsing activity across sites to show relevant advertisements.
  • DoubleClick (Google): Used for ad delivery, reporting, and frequency capping.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages.

Consent Management (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

If you visit us from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, your choices about advertising and analytics cookies are collected through a consent management platform (CMP) certified under the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.3). We use Google's certified CMP, registered with IAB Europe under vendor ID 300.

Your choices are recorded as a standard consent signal (a "TC string") stored on your device and passed to the advertising vendors you approved, so your decision is honoured across the advertising chain. Without that signal we do not show you personalized advertising.

The consent dialog lists every processing purpose and every vendor before you decide, refusing is as easy as accepting, and you can reopen it at any time from the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

The full list of registered vendors is published by IAB Europe: IAB Europe TCF Vendor List

Outside these regions your choices are collected by our own cookie banner instead, and no TC string is created.

How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

Website Consent Tool

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the 'Cookie Settings' link in the footer. In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland this reopens our certified consent management platform, where you can grant or withdraw consent for each purpose and each advertising vendor separately.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences.

  • Block all cookies
  • Block only third-party cookies
  • Delete cookies when you close your browser
  • Prompt before a cookie is stored

Note: If you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience.

Updates to This Policy
