Who is responsible
setimes.com is responsible for the personal data processed on this website. Questions about privacy can be sent through our contact page.
Reading the website
You can read setimes.com without an account. We do not use advertising trackers, we do not run third-party analytics, and we do not set cookies for visitors who are not logged in.
- Server logs. Like every website, our hosting provider records technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to keep the service secure and working. These logs are kept only for a limited period.
- Article view counts. To show “Most Read” and “Trending” lists, your browser tells our server which article you read after you have stayed on it for a few seconds. We store only the number of views per article per day. We do not store your IP address and we do not use cookies for this. To avoid counting the same reader many times, a temporary, scrambled code derived from your connection is kept in memory for up to one hour and then discarded, and your browser remembers in its session storage (cleared when you close the tab) that the article was already counted.
- Fonts. Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google servers and Google receives your IP address. See Google’s privacy policy for details.
- Weather and currency rates. Weather forecasts are requested by our server from Open-Meteo, and euro exchange rates from the European Central Bank. No information about you is sent to either of them.
- Share buttons. The Facebook, X, Telegram and LinkedIn buttons are plain links. Nothing is sent to these networks until you click one; after that, the network’s own privacy policy applies.

Your rights
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time.
