What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Websites can also use local storage, session storage, pixels, and similar technology to remember a session, measure usage, prevent abuse, or provide a requested feature.
A public ZIP or city search does not require an account. Some optional features and third-party services do require browser storage.
Necessary technology
Firebase Authentication uses browser storage to maintain an optional signed-in session. Blocking this storage may prevent sign-in, saved briefings, or account tools from working.
Our hosting and security providers may process technical identifiers or use necessary storage to deliver the site, route requests, protect the service, and prevent abuse.
Analytics
When Google Analytics is enabled, it may set cookies or use similar identifiers to measure visits, pages viewed, device and browser information, approximate location, and referral source.
We use analytics to understand and improve the site. We do not currently use the site to serve behavioral advertising.
Contact form and reCAPTCHA
The contact form uses EmailJS to deliver the information you choose to submit.
When Google reCAPTCHA is configured, Google may set cookies or use existing Google cookies and technical signals to distinguish people from automated submissions.
Your controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and site storage. Your browser's help or privacy settings explain how.
Blocking necessary storage may prevent optional sign-in, account tools, reCAPTCHA, or the contact form from working. You can still use public location searches without creating an account.
Changes
We will update this policy before relying on materially different cookies or similar technology for checkout, paid account tools, alerts, advertising, or other new features.
