Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 August 2026
GoNoGo Weather ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information is involved when you use the site and how it's handled. We've written it in plain language.
Your location
When you first open the site, to show a useful local forecast straight away — without an intrusive permission popup — we make a one-off request to an IP-geolocation service (currently GeoJS, with ipapi as a fallback), which returns an approximate, city-level location derived from your IP address. This is only accurate to your general area, is used solely to fetch that first forecast, is not stored by us, and is not tied to your identity.
When you tap "use my location", your browser asks your permission and, if you agree, provides your precise coordinates. We use those coordinates only to request the local weather forecast. When you search by city name instead, that text is sent to our weather data provider to look up coordinates. In all cases, your last-used location may be saved locally in your browser (see cookies below) so the site remembers it on your next visit. We do not link your location to your identity, and we do not sell it.
Weather data provider
Forecasts and place-name lookups are provided by Open-Meteo. When the site fetches a forecast, the coordinates or search term are sent to their servers so they can return the data. Please refer to Open-Meteo's own terms for how they handle requests.
Cookies and local storage
We use your browser's local storage to remember your most recent location so you don't have to re-enter it. This stays on your device. If we display advertising or use analytics (see below), those services may set their own cookies.
Advertising
To keep the site free, we may display advertising, including via Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses data at this page. Where required (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), we present a consent choice before non-essential cookies are set.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links to gear are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer, not us, processes any purchase and handles your payment and personal details under their own privacy policy.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-8F1MB25XBH) to understand aggregate site use, such as which tools are popular. Google resolves regional consent defaults: Analytics storage is denied by default in the EEA, UK and Switzerland and granted elsewhere. In a denied session the Google tag may send cookieless measurement signals before consent; it must not create Analytics cookies. Your explicit choice overrides the default.
Use Cookie settings to accept, reject or withdraw Analytics consent. Rejection disables Analytics and clears its cookies; withdrawal reloads the page. Advertising choices remain managed separately by Google's privacy controls where required. Forecast tools remain available with Analytics rejected. Verdict embed widgets have no advertising or Analytics loader and do not create optional Analytics cookies.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
You can decline the location permission and search by city instead; you can clear your browser's local storage to remove your saved location; and you can opt out of personalised ads via the links above. Because we don't hold accounts, there's no profile on our side to delete.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "last updated" date above will reflect any change.
