Cookie Policy
This policy page - and the 'pop-up' notice which brought you here - appear in accordance with the European Union's requirement for webmasters to detail how their websites use cookies and to provide users with advice on how to 'opt out' of their usage.
Similar to other websites, NakedEyePlanets.com uses third-party "cookies" issued by Google Adsense and other services to (a) serve more relevant advertisements to users or (b) to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting this website.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are text files which a website may put on your computer or other device when you first visit a website or a webpage. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or similar files can also do the same thing. The term "cookies" is used in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
Cookies serve many functions. For example, they can help analyse how well a website is performing, to remember your username and preferences, or to allow a website to recommend content which the webmaster believes will be most relevant to you.
To find out more about cookies, visit the sites All About Cookies and About Cookies.
You can refuse to accept cookies by activating a setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies or by using the links provided below.
What sort of Cookies does this website use?
NakedEyePlanets.com utilises 'functionality cookies' by Google Adsense (to provide targeted advertising) and 'performance cookies' by StatCounter and AddThis (to analyse how its visitors use the website and to monitor website performance).
Users based within the European Economic Area (EEA) see only non-personalized ads on this website. These use only contextual information (i.e. relating to the web page content) and they will often involve determining coarse general (city-level) location. You may see ads that are less relevant to you. Although these ads don’t use cookies for ad personalisation, they do use non-tracking cookies to allow for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting and to combat fraud and abuse.
For users based outside of the EEA, Google Adsense uses 'remarketing' cookies (such as DoubleClick) to advertise on this website and make ads more relevant to users, based on such users’ past visits to this or other websites. Remarketing cookies will be used by third parties (including Google) to show ads on websites other than NakedEyePlanets.com. You can find out more about how Google Adsense uses cookies here.

'Performance cookies' (such as those used by StatCounter and AddThis) help the webmaster to quickly identify and fix any navigation issues that may arise. Performance cookies keep track of which pages are popular, which method of linking between pages is best, and determine why some pages are receiving error messages. These cookies may also be used to highlight articles or site services that the webmaster believes will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
Note that cookies are not essential to the correct functioning of this website.
Personalisation
NakedEyePlanets.com does not store any personal data that is provided by cookies. Most cookies on the Internet will not collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use the website, or a user's general location.
By continuing to use this website without changing your browser settings, you are deemed to consent to the use of cookies as described above.
If you are concerned about behaviourally-targeted advertising cookies, users based outside of the EEA can read more here.
To opt out of Google Adsense' remarketing or to control your ad preferences, please click here. Remarketing cookies will expire 90 days from the time that the cookie is set or updated (whichever is the later). Please note that disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer see online advertising; it simply means that you will no longer see targeted ads.
