Cookies used by Landfill Watch

The service currently uses authentication, security, preference, and acknowledgement cookies. Google Analytics cookies are optional and are set only after you choose Allow analytics. The service does not set advertising cookies.

_ga and _ga_1FWH218XK8Google Analytics distinguishes a consented browser and keeps session state. These cookies are removed when you turn analytics off from the footer.Up to 12 months from the latest consented visit; browsers may apply a shorter limit.

Necessary cookies are created only when needed for sign-in or when you choose a preference or acknowledge the Explorer notice. The Google tag is not requested before analytics consent. You can change that choice at any time through Privacy settings in the footer. Removing necessary cookies in your browser may stop sign-in or remembered choices from working.

Service providers and map requests

We use Auth0 by Okta for authentication, Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) infrastructure in the EU-central region to host and operate the service, and—only with your consent—Google Analytics to measure use and performance. These providers process data under their service arrangements. Read how Google processes data in its Privacy Policy.

When you open an interactive map, your browser can request map tiles directly from OpenStreetMap, Esri, or CARTO, depending on the background you select. Those requests disclose technical request data and the requested tile coordinates to the selected provider, which processes that data under its own privacy terms. Layer credits in the map identify the active providers.

A provider may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where ClimateScope arranges such a transfer, it must use a transfer mechanism permitted by data-protection law. You may contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your data.

Your data-protection rights

Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you may ask us for access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of your personal data. You may also have rights to portability and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may withdraw analytics consent at any time without affecting processing that was lawful before the withdrawal.

Email info@climatescope.io to make a request. We may need enough information to verify your identity. You may also complain to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection or the supervisory authority where you live or work. See uoou.gov.cz for the Czech authority.
