Privacy

Earth Unfolded sets no cookies and loads nothing from other sites. It runs no advertising and no third-party analytics.

What the server records

The web server logs each request it receives. A log line holds your IP address, the time, the page requested, the page that linked to it, and your browser’s name and version. The logs are used to block abusive traffic and to count page views and returning visitors. They are shared with no one.

How long your IP address is kept

Full IP addresses stay on the server for up to 2 days. After that, each is replaced by a code made from it with a secret key. The key changes every 14 days, and the old key is destroyed. Until then a code could be matched to an address; after that it cannot.

How page views are counted

Each page sends one small request to the server as it loads. It carries the page’s address and, on the first page of a visit, the address of the site that linked to it. Most automated crawlers do not run the script that sends it, so counting these requests counts readers rather than bots.

What your browser stores

If you switch between light and dark themes, your browser stores the choice so the next page keeps it. It stays on your device and is never sent to the server.
