Cookie Policy

Version 2026-10-29 · Effective October 29, 2026

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (local storage and third-party scripts) used on wheresnow.net. The WheresNow mobile app is covered by the Privacy Policy.

Your choices

In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, we ask before using analytics. Nothing in the analytics category loads until you accept.

Everywhere else, analytics is on by default and you can turn it off.

You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings in the footer of every page. We work out which of these applies from your device's time zone. If we can't tell, we ask.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, analytics stays off unless you switch it on yourself.

Strictly necessary

These are needed for the site to work and can't be switched off.
