The Short Version
weather.wtf uses only a few first-party cookies, and only for things the site needs to work: keeping you signed in, protecting forms and sign-in flows, and counting Ask Noah answers. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not sell your personal information. Because we only use cookies the site needs, there is no cookie banner. Page-view statistics come from Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies.
1. What Cookies and Browser Storage Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Sites can also use your browser's local storage and session storage, which stay on your device and are not sent to us with every request. This policy covers both.
2. Cookies We Set
| Cookie | Party | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-eokmbafhpcnxbrifcvkf-auth-token (may be split into numbered parts ending .0, .1) |
1st party | Up to 400 days, or until you sign out | Keeps you signed in to your member account (Supabase authentication). Only set when you sign in. |
sb-eokmbafhpcnxbrifcvkf-auth-token-code-verifier |
1st party | Removed when sign-in finishes | Secures the Google, Facebook or X sign-in redirect. Only set while you sign in. |
wtf_chat |
1st party | 2 days | Counts your free Ask Noah answers for the day (signed, no personal data). Only set when you use Ask Noah. |
wwtf_meta_state |
1st party | 10 minutes | Protects the Instagram or Facebook connect step for members. Only set while you connect an account. |
Vercel security cookies (for example _vcrcs) |
1st party, set by our host Vercel | Short-lived | Bot and abuse protection when Vercel's firewall checks a visit. |
3. Cookie Table: Browser Storage We Use
These items stay in your browser and are not cookies. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab.
| Key | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
wwtf-signup-show_member, wwtf-signup-professional, wwtf-signup-connect |
Local storage | Saves your membership sign-up answers so you don't lose them if you leave and come back. Cleared when sign-up finishes. |
wwtf-host-names |
Local storage | Remembers the names you gave hosts in the host picker. |
wwtf-nav-member |
Session storage | Remembers whether you're signed in, so the menu loads quickly. |
weatherwtf.askNoah.state, weatherwtf.askNoah.msgs |
Session storage | Keeps the Ask Noah window open or closed and your recent questions during the visit. |
wtf-follow-dismissed, weather-desk-key |
Session storage | Remembers that you closed the follow bar, and your Weather Desk view, during the visit. |
4. Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views in aggregate. It does not set cookies or store anything in your browser, and it does not track you across other sites.
5. Payments
When you join a paid membership, you finish payment on Stripe's secure checkout page (checkout.stripe.com). Stripe may set its own cookies on its pages for fraud prevention and to process the payment, under Stripe's cookie policy. weather.wtf does not load Stripe scripts on its own pages.
6. Embedded Video
The live beach weather cam, in partnership with the Elbo Room, plays through YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube may store data in your browser when you play the video, under Google's own policies.
7. Your Choices
You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. If you block the sign-in cookies, you will not be able to stay signed in to a member account; the rest of the site still works. Signing out removes the sign-in cookies.
