Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how hhwx.me ("the Site," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information about visitors. By using the Site you consent to the practices described here.

Who we are

hhwx.me is a personal weather analysis and forecasting site operated by Hunter Hurley. Contact: hunterlhurley@gmail.com.

What we collect

We collect a minimal set of analytics about your visit:

Pages viewed and time spent on each page
Approximate visit duration
Referring page (the site that linked you here, if any)
A hashed identifier derived from your IP and browser fingerprint (used only to distinguish unique visitors from repeat visitors — we do not store your raw IP address)

This data is collected by a first-party script (/track.php) and is not sold or shared with third parties.

Cookies

The Site uses cookies and similar storage (localStorage) for:

Session state — remembering your selected variables, regions, and view settings on the F&A pages so you don't have to re-pick them each visit.
Cookie consent — once you accept or decline our consent banner, your choice is stored in localStorage so we don't ask again.
Advertising — Google AdSense may set cookies on pages that display ads. See "Third-party advertising" below.

Third-party advertising (Google AdSense)

Some pages on this Site display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Google's full privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

How long we keep data

Visit analytics are retained indefinitely in aggregate form. Individual visit records older than 90 days are deleted. Cookies set by Google AdSense are governed by Google's retention policies.

Your rights

You may:

Clear cookies and localStorage in your browser at any time to remove all stored data.
Decline our cookie consent banner — non-essential tracking will not run, and ads will be served without personalization.
Email us to request that any data we hold relating to you be deleted.

EU / UK / California residents

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have additional rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address above.

This Site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
