General privacy expectations for AstroAPOD

AstroAPOD is designed as an informational website. Like many modern sites, it may rely on analytics, external media sources, and third-party services to load some content and understand basic site usage patterns.

Analytics and performance data

AstroAPOD uses website analytics to understand overall traffic, page usage, and general site performance. These tools may collect non-personal browsing information such as page views, approximate device or browser information, and referrer data.

Third-party content and requests

• NASA APOD content is requested from NASA's public API.
• Some site features may request media or data from other public services such as NASA search endpoints.
• Embedded or linked third-party services may apply their own privacy practices.

Cookies and browser storage

Some AstroAPOD features may use browser storage to remember lightweight preferences such as favorites or recently viewed timeline items. This is intended to improve the user experience rather than identify individual visitors.
