Winter Street sets no cookies and runs no advertising or tracking scripts. There are no accounts, so we never ask for your name or email.
Settings saved in your browser
Your preferences and favorite stars are kept in your browser's local storage so they are still there next time. This covers things like the background, fidelity, visible layers and dismissed hints. They never leave your device, and clearing your site data removes them.
Visit statistics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages are popular. It stores nothing on your device and does not follow you across sites. Visitors are counted with a hash of the IP address and browser that resets every day, so we cannot tell who you are.
Vercel Analytics privacyHosting and star data
The site is hosted by Vercel, and the Gaia star data is served from Cloudflare. Like any web server, they receive your IP address and browser details in order to deliver the pages and data. They may keep short-lived logs for security and reliability.
Cloudflare privacy policyWikipedia summaries
When you open a star or object, your browser may load its summary straight from Wikipedia. Wikimedia then receives your IP address as it would on any visit to Wikipedia.
Wikimedia privacy policyYour rights
We hold no personal data that could identify you. If you live in the EU or UK you still have the right to ask about any data processed when you visit, and to complain to your local data protection authority.
