Last updated: July 2026
TheGodexkeeps cookies to a minimum. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. Analytics cookies are optional and load only if you choose “Accept all” in our cookie notice. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site ad tracking, or fingerprinting.
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to operate and do not require consent.
- Authentication session cookie — keeps you signed in and secures your account. This is required for the application to function.
2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how many people visit, which pages they use, and how the site performs. This helps us improve the service. These cookies load onlyafter you select “Accept all”. If you choose “Essential only”, Google Analytics is never loaded and sets no cookies.
Google Analytics is provided by Google, which processes this data as described in its own privacy documentation. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not enable cross-site or cross-device ad tracking.
To change your choice, clear this site’s cookies and browser storage (see “Managing Cookies” below); the cookie notice will appear again on your next visit.
3. Local Storage (On Your Device)
- Cookie notice preference— your “Accept all” / “Essential only” choice, stored so we do not repeatedly show the notice and so analytics respects your decision.
- Compute mode preference — if you select background analysis settings, this is stored locally in your browser.
Local storage remains on your device and is not shared with third parties.
4. What We Do Not Use
- No advertising cookies.
- No cross-site or cross-device ad tracking.
- No fingerprinting.
- No sale of your personal information.
5. Background Analysis
When you enable background analysis, your browser downloads publicly available astronomical images directly from their source archives (e.g., survey data providers). Only analysis results (such as coordinates and motion measurements) are submitted to our servers. We do not proxy, store, or redistribute raw survey imagery.
6. Third-Party Infrastructure
We use third-party infrastructure providers for authentication and database services (e.g., Supabase). These providers may use strictly necessary cookies required for secure sessions.
7. Server Logs
Our servers may automatically log standard technical information (IP address, request timestamps, and error logs) for security and operational purposes. These logs are not used for profiling or advertising.
8. Managing Cookies
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings. Clearing them will sign you out, reset your cookie choice, and stop analytics until you consent again.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we introduce new types of cookies beyond those described here, we will update this page and request consent where legally required.
