Favorite viewing locations are stored in your browser on this device. They are not synced to an account. Your browser may block or clear this storage.

Optional location

The Spots page requests approximate device location only after you choose Near me or Closest. Coordinates are used in the page to compare distances and show your position; we do not save them to an account or include them in the weather-source requests.

External services

Weather and space-weather requests are made by the site server. The optional map requests tiles from OpenStreetMap, which receives connection information such as your IP address. Google Fonts, the hosting platform and external map/directions links have their own data practices. Hosting may process operational logs and site traffic measurements.

Advertising and submissions

Google’s AdSense script is included for site verification and may send connection information such as your IP address, browser details and page address to Google. Aurora Hound has not enabled ad placements. No contact submission service, public posting system or account system is enabled in this upgrade. Any future advertising requires updated disclosures and applicable consent configuration. The legal operator and verified contact details remain pending review.

Cookies and future Google advertising

AdSense advertising is not currently active. If enabled later, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads based on previous visits to this or other websites. Google and its partners may process IP addresses, browser information, page visits and advertising identifiers. Advertising will remain disabled until approval and applicable consent controls are configured.

Personalized advertising to visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland requires a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB TCF. Non-personalized ads are not automatically cookie-free or exempt from consent. The final consent notice must identify vendors and purposes, offer appropriate choices, retain consent evidence and provide a way to withdraw or change those choices. Applicable US privacy opt-outs must also be honored.

You can review Google advertising preferences and how Google uses partner-site information. These links do not substitute for this site's future consent controls. No advertising consent has been assumed or collected by a placeholder banner.

The final operator/contact details, retention periods, vendor inventory and regional consent implementation need review before advertising launches. Contact information status.
