Why we use cookies
Our tools (moon phase, sunrise and sunset, full moons, eclipses) don't need cookies to work. We use cookies for three things: keeping the site secure, seeing which pages are read (Google Analytics) and showing ads (Google AdSense).
Apart from strictly necessary cookies, cookies are used only if you allow them in the cookie notice shown on your first visit. If you don't, the site works exactly the same; ads may still appear, but they won't be personalized.
