Observer coordinates — from browser geolocation or entered manually — are used only in your browser to compute look angles and passes with SGP4. They are stored in local storage on your device and are never uploaded to ORBITAL or shared with advertisers.

ORBITAL caches published orbital element sets, your chosen observer location, the intro-sequence flag and your advertising choice in your browser's local storage. Clearing site data removes all of it.

Advertising is not enabled on this deployment: no advertising script is loaded and no advertising cookies are set.

ORBITAL has no user accounts and runs no analytics tag. Element-set requests go through ORBITAL's server-side proxy to public providers such as CelesTrak; those providers see the proxy, not you.
