Who We Are

Qatar Live Weather (qatarliveweather.com) is an independent weather information service providing real-time weather data for Qatar and its municipalities. The site is operated by mohammedlglg.

What Data We Collect

We do not directly collect or store personal data about our visitors. However, the third-party services we use may collect data as described below:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — if you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner, we use GA4 to collect anonymised usage data such as page views, session duration, and general geographic region (country level). This data helps us understand how the site is used. IP addresses are anonymised. See Google's Privacy Policy →
• Google AdSense — if you accept cookies, Google AdSense may use cookies to serve relevant advertisements. See Google Advertising Policies →
• Geolocation (optional) — if you use the "Use my location" feature, your browser's geolocation API is used to find the nearest weather station. This data is processed entirely client-side and is never transmitted to our servers.

Cookies

We use the following types of cookies and local storage:

• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — used to collect anonymised usage statistics. These are only set if you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner.
• Advertising cookies (Google AdSense) — used to deliver relevant advertisements on the main map page. These are only set if you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner.
• Functional cookies — we store your cookie consent preference in localStorage so we don't ask you repeatedly. This is a first-party functional storage item and does not track you across other websites.

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser's privacy settings. Declining cookies via our banner will prevent Analytics and AdSense cookies from being set.

Where Ads Appear

Google AdSense advertisements appear only on the main map page (index.html), and only after weather data has successfully loaded and is visible on screen. We do not serve ads on static pages (About, Privacy, Contact) or during the page loading state. This practice ensures ads are always shown alongside genuine publisher content, consistent with Google's AdSense programme policies.

Third-Party Data Sources

Weather data displayed on this site is sourced from the following third-party services. These services operate independently and are subject to their own terms and privacy policies:

• wttr.in — provides current conditions, forecasts, and astronomy data (powered by WorldWeatherOnline).
• Aladhan API — provides Islamic prayer times based on geographic coordinates.
• Wikipedia REST API — provides informational summaries about locations under the CC BY-SA licence.
