Privacy & Cookie Policy — DailyDigest.com

Effective Date: 01/01/2002
Updated: 12/04/2025

At DailyDigest.com, we respect your privacy. This Privacy & Cookie Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data, including details related to advertising services like Google AdSense.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

a. Personal Information

Name and email address (if provided via contact forms or newsletter signup)

b. Automatically Collected Data

IP address
Browser type and version
Device type
Referring pages and time spent on site
Interaction with ads and content

c. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertisements.

d. Accounts and Sign-In

If you create an account we store your name, your email address, the handle you choose and, if you set one, your password (kept only as a hash we cannot read).

You can also sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook. We ask the provider only for your name and your email address. It sends us:

your name
your email address, and whether the provider has verified it (with Apple this can be a private forwarding address, if you choose Hide My Email)
the provider’s ID for your account, which we store so that we recognize you the next time you sign in

Google also sends a link to your profile picture, which we do not keep. We never receive your password for that provider, and we do not read your contacts, friends, posts or anything else held there. The provider learns that you signed in to DailyDigest.com, under its own privacy policy.

You can see and unlink a provider at any time in Settings, under Sign-In. Deleting your account deletes these links with it.

e. Weather and Your Place

The weather tile shows the forecast for a place you choose. We keep the name of that city, and whether you prefer Celsius or Fahrenheit, in your browser’s local storage, and in your account if you are signed in, so that the tile remembers them. It is a city, never your address or your exact position. Press Change Location and then Clear to remove it.

Until you choose a place, the tile may suggest the city your internet connection appears to be in. Cloudflare, the network our site is served through, estimates that city from your IP address when the page asks for it. We do not store your IP address or the suggestion, and nothing is saved unless you accept it.

If you press Use My Location, your browser asks your permission first. The position it gives is rounded to about 11 km (7 miles) before it leaves your device. We use it once, to find the nearest city on our list, and do not keep it.

The forecast comes from MET Norway (the Norwegian Meteorological Institute). Our server asks for it, so MET Norway receives the position of the city and nothing about you. We do not use your place to choose advertising.

f. Verifying Your Email Address

When you create an account we send one email to the address you gave, with a link to verify it. The account cannot be used until the address is verified. The link lasts 24 hours, and you can ask for a new one.

An account that is never verified is deleted after 7 days, along with everything entered at sign-up.

If someone tries to create an account with an address that already has one, no new account is created and the existing one is not changed. We send an email to that address to say that it happened.

g. Advertising and Analytics from Google

When we show ads, they come from Google AdSense. Your browser then loads a script from Google, and Google receives your IP address, your browser and device type, the address of the page you are reading and the address of the page that sent you. Google may set or read cookies and similar identifiers on your device to choose and measure ads, and to limit fraud. We choose where an ad appears on a page. We do not give Google your name, your email address, your account or the place you chose for the weather.

If we use Google Analytics 4, your browser loads Google’s tag and Google receives the pages you view, how long you stay, your approximate location, your device and browser, and an identifier it stores in a cookie. We use the totals to see which pages are read. Signed-in editors of the site are not counted.

We also keep our own count of visits. It uses no cookies and stores nothing in your browser, and it is separate from the two services above.

If you are in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google’s advertising and analytics storage is off until you choose. A message from Google’s consent tool asks whether you agree to personalized ads and to measurement. You can decline, and ads may still appear, but they are not personalized to you. Clearing this site’s cookies and site data in your browser brings the message back so you can choose again.

You can also manage personalized ads in your Google account’s Ad Settings, and opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on. Google handles this data under its own privacy policy.

g. Email Between You and Us

If you write to us, or we write to you, the messages are kept in our mailbox so we can answer and keep track of them. If you have an account, a copy of those messages is part of the copy of your data you can ask for.

When your account is deleted we delete every conversation between you and us, including attachments and the copy held on our mail server. We keep one line in our records saying that a deletion took place, without your address.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

Improve website content and performance
Respond to user inquiries and feedback
Provide personalized user experiences
Analyze traffic and usage trends
Deliver targeted advertising based on your browsing behavior

3. Use of Google AdSense and Other Ad Networks

We use Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks to serve ads.

These services may:

Place and read cookies on your browser
Use web beacons to collect information while serving ads
Track your interactions for ad targeting and analytics

Google may use your browsing data to deliver interest-based ads in accordance with its own Google Privacy & Terms.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Ad Settings.

4. Third-Party Services

We may also use third-party services like:

Google Analytics — for visitor insights

These services may collect anonymized data under their respective privacy policies.
