Privacy

Meteora Stories does not ask you for an account and has no advertising or tracking cookies. It measures its own traffic with a tool we run ourselves, without cookies and without sending data to third parties.

What we measure and how

We use Umami, open-source software running on our own server in the European Union. For each visit it records the page you viewed, the page you came from, your browser and device type, language, country, and what you did in the feed, such as opening, saving or sharing a story.

It does not store your IP address and leaves nothing on your device. To tell visits apart within the same day it uses an anonymous code that changes every day, so it cannot recognise you from one day to the next. None of this is linked to a name, email address or account. We use it only to understand which stories are read and where visitors come from.

What stays on your device

• Language: one cookie (lang) remembers whether you chose Greek or English, for one year.
• Saved stories and settings: the stories you save, the note that you have seen the swipe hints and your sound setting stay in your browser’s storage. They are never sent anywhere.
• Copies for offline use: your browser keeps copies of pages and images so the site opens quickly, even without signal.

You can delete all of this from your browser settings by clearing this site’s data.

What the server records

Like any web server, ours records the IP address, time, page and browser type of each request. These logs are used only to run and secure the site, and are deleted automatically after about two weeks.

Links to other sites

The “Map” and “Directions” buttons open Google Maps, and article sources open their own websites. Their own privacy terms apply there. Ads marked “Sponsored” take you to the advertiser’s site only if you tap their button.
