Privacy — your news, your choice

Help us understand which features readers enjoy, only if you are comfortable with it. Saying No does not block news, Search, Filters, or Analyze.

Statistics are off until you give permission.

Only with your permission

Feature statistics: selected news categories, news regions, and sources. Design and style preferences are not collected. We count setting selections, not individual readers.
Approximate location: when a local location database is configured, your IP address is used briefly on our server to estimate country, state/province and approximate city. The statistics database does not store your IP address. No outside IP-lookup service is contacted.
Optional visitor region: after choosing No, you may separately select your region from a dropdown and click Share my region, or Skip. No typing, city lookup, IP lookup or GPS is used for this answer. Sharing a region does not enable feature statistics.

Location availability: Automatic country/state lookup is not configured. Automatic location is recorded as unknown; visitors who choose No may still separately share their region.

Basic page count without identifiers

The server increments an aggregate counter when it serves the public news page, even if you choose No. It does not use cookies, IP addresses, location or visitor identifiers for this counter. Reloads, pagination and bots can count; these are page requests, not unique visitors.

What is not sent to our statistics database

Your search words, tag text, saved-filter names, selected articles, article-reading history, AI prompts, name, email, precise coordinates, and persistent visitor identifiers. News-region filters represent your interests, not where you live.

How we use and keep the counts

We use daily totals to understand popular features and broad geographic patterns. Preferences are counted separately, not stored as a personal profile or a complete filter combination. Approximate location counts are separate from preference counters and reflect consenting page requests, not unique people. A voluntarily shared visitor region is counted separately from news-filter regions and automatic location estimates. We never combine these into a single visitor-location total.

New counts are combined into weekly reports retained for the latest 52 completed weeks, plus current-week daily counters. The weekly job deletes daily counters only after archiving them successfully. If the job fails, pending counters remain until it is repaired. Legacy statistics collected under the previous notice retain their original 90-day limit and are not moved to year-long reports. Reports are private to Admin and include small totals; these do not establish unique readership.

Your choice and your device

We remember Yes or No, the time of your choice, and this notice version in a first-party cookie for 180 days. A short-lived technical session protects requests and limits repeated counts. You can turn statistics off here at any time; already-combined totals cannot be separated to remove one person's contribution.

Your saved filters, theme, and other requested settings remain in your browser so those features work. Analyze uses temporary tab storage. A separate region-choice cookie remembers Share or Skip for 180 days without storing the selected region in the cookie. Saying No stops feature and automatic-location statistics; it does not erase your saved settings. Clearing site data removes saved settings and the remembered privacy choice.

Other requests and services

Your hosting connection necessarily exposes an IP address to the server. Hosting/security logs and any hosting backups are separate from this statistics feature. Search terms are sent to the server to find news, but are not included in our statistics payload.

Google Translate and websites you open through article or AI links operate under their own privacy policies. This statistics choice does not authorize those providers to track you.

Device-language detection happens in your browser and is not added to WNA statistics. Automatic translation uses Google Translate, so your browser connects to Google when translation runs. You can select English to read the original page.

1. What can I do on this website?

Analyze This, Analyze That, Analyze These.
1. Check a few relevant articles using the checkbox at the top left of each news item.
2. The Analyze These button appears with your selection count.
3. Click Analyze These, copy the AI prompt, and paste it into ChatGPT (or another AI tool) to compare the articles.
Your AI tool will try to read those articles. It is expected to give you a clear summary and comparison of the articles.

This helps you explore news from different angles and notice differences in reporting.

An AI comparison can still contain bias or errors.
Create your own named filters.

Select categories and regions, then open Filters in the menu. These selections are your active filters.

For example, select Economy and Technology, click Save active filters, and name the combination “EcTec.” An EcTec button will appear in Filters.

You can save several combinations. To make EcTec your default, click Change default filter, choose EcTec, and click Set as default.
Explore sources from multiple countries.

Open News Sources in the menu to choose which sources to include. Your source choices can also be part of a saved filter.

The results and matching-record count update when your search or filter choices change.

3. Can I choose which news sources appear?

Open News Sources in the menu.
Check the sources you want to include.

5. How do I clear filters or delete a saved filter?

Open Filters in the menu, then choose the action you need.

Clear the current view: Click Clear active filters or All News. Your named filters remain saved.

Change the default: Click Change default filter, select a saved filter, and click Set as default. This chooses your starting view.

Delete a saved filter: Click the X beside its name. Deleting the default filter also removes its default setting.

6. How does Analyze These work across pages?

Check up to ten articles. You can select articles on different pages of the same results.
Use Previous and Next to browse. Analyze These keeps the combined selection count.
Click Analyze These to view the comparison prompt or Markdown briefing.
Copy the prompt, open an AI tool using one of the provided links, and paste the prompt there. You can also copy the Markdown briefing for your notes.

This is a useful way to have news articles summarized and compared for you.

The app does not automatically send your selected articles to AI tools. You choose the tool and paste the prompt yourself.

To remove one article: Uncheck its checkbox.

To clear everything: Click the X attached to the left of Analyze These. All article selections are cleared and the Analyze These controls disappear.

Changing the search or filters starts a new selection.

Click Translate in the menu or the globe icon.
Choose a language from the list.

Automatic translation is provided by Google Translate. Translations may not be exact.

10. How are WNA’s nine regions grouped?

These are WNA’s custom news groupings, not the official UN classification. Each listed country belongs to one group.

Northern America
Latin America
Europe
Middle East
Central Asia
South Asia
Far East
Africa
Oceania

News regions filter where an article’s event happens. An optional visitor region tells us where a reader is. One is never used to guess the other.

The country dropdown in Search shows which countries and territories belong to each group. Cyprus is in Europe in this app.

10.1. Middle East — which countries are included?

This group includes Türkiye and Egypt, together with Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

Egypt is not repeated under Africa; Türkiye is not repeated under Europe.

10.2. Central Asia — why does it include Russia?

For easier news browsing, WNA uses a broader Central Asia group:

Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
South Caucasus: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Russia: the whole country, without splitting it between Europe and Asia.

This is an app grouping, not a claim that Russia or the South Caucasus are geographically Central Asia.

10.3. South Asia — which countries are included?

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

10.4. Far East — what does it cover?

East Asia: China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea and South Korea.
Southeast Asia: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.

Russia is under Central Asia, not Far East.

10.5. Latin America — where does Mexico belong?

Mexico belongs to Latin America in this app.
The group also covers Central America, South America and the Caribbean, including their listed territories.
Northern America contains Canada, the United States, Greenland, Bermuda, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

In WNA, “Latin America” is a broad regional label that includes the Caribbean, Belize, Guyana and Suriname, even though the term can have a narrower cultural meaning.

10.6. Why are some articles missing from a region filter?

Regions use the event country assigned to an article during AI processing, not the publisher’s country. An article without an assigned country may not match your selected region.

10.7. What happens to my older saved region filters?

Your saved filter names and other choices stay intact. Older broad region selections are adapted:

Asia becomes Central Asia, South Asia and Far East.
South America becomes Latin America.
The former North America group becomes Northern America plus Latin America.

Some adapted filters cover more countries than before. Review the Regions checkboxes and save a new filter if you want a narrower selection. Historical statistics are not redistributed into the new groups.

11. Where are my saved settings stored?

Named filters, default choices, and appearance settings are saved in the browser or app you are using. They may differ on another device.

Clearing website data removes these preferences.

Analyze These selections are kept for the current browser-tab session.

Optional statistics are separate. Open Privacy in the menu to see what is collected only with permission, or to turn statistics off.

12. When does new news arrive?

The app checks for new news feeds 4 times per hour, at :03, :18, :33, :48 UTC, then enriches unprocessed articles with AI. The administrator controls this shared schedule; actual start times depend on the server scheduler.

AI processing or provider limits can delay categories and locations.

13. App updates

Automatic checks: The app checks when it opens or resumes, and once a minute while visible.

Installing an update: The page reloads automatically when no unfinished form or dialog is in use.

An internet connection is required. Update checks cannot run while the app is closed or suspended.

Chuvas fortes continuam no Sul e aumentam impactos sobre moradores

A região Sul continua registrando chuvas fortes nesta terça-feira (29) e cerca de 150 cidades registram danos significativos, com impactos em residências e prédios públicos. A formação de um ciclone extratropical no litoral uruguaio contribui para a ocorrência de tempestades na região e pode permanecer ao longo da semana. No Rio Grande do Sul, foram registradas 146 ocorrências em 128 municípios, com chuvas intensas, vendavais, inundações, deslizamentos e queda de granizo, desde a última sexta (25). São 6 mil desalojados e mais de 8 mil casas e 73 prédios públicos danificados. Notícias relacionadas:Temporais em Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul afetam 4,8 mil casas.Calor e chuvas levam Defesa Civil a emitir 34 alertas em São Paulo .Ciclone e frente fria deixam Centro-Sul em alerta para tempestade.Moradores que estão próximos dos rios Santa Maria e Taquari estão em alerta desde o começo da noite desta terça-feira.

Os catarinenses passaram a considerar o fenômeno como de intensidade muito forte, pois estão acima do limiar de aquecimento da superfície do mar de 2 °C na região equatorial do Pacífico. No Paraná a nota da Defesa Civil estadual e do Sistema de Tecnologia e Monitoramento Ambiental do Paraná (Simepar) alerta para chuvas acima da média no centro-sul do estado ao longo dos meses de outubro e novembro, com atenção especial para a região entre Foz do Iguaçú, Guaíra, Maringá, Telêmaco Borba, Guarapuava e Francisco Beltrão. A nota destaca a ocorrência de tempestades e recomenda medidas adicionais de segurança em atividades públicas, como feiras e shows, revisão de planos de contingência e estoque de itens de assistência humanitária (alimentos, lonas, telhas e materiais de dormitórios).

Quatro pessoas estão desaparecidas no RS após temporal

O temporal que atingiu o Rio Grande do Sul durante esta madrugada, com fortes chuvas e ventos, deixou ao menos quatro pessoas desaparecidas, quatro desabrigadas e outras 624 desalojadas, informou a Defesa Civil. Os quatro desaparecidos são da cidade de Caxias do Sul, na Serra gaúcha. Três dessas pessoas, informou a Defesa Civil, estavam em um veículo que foi arrastado pela enxurrada. Notícias relacionadas:Tempestade, ventos fortes e granizo deixam Região Sul em alerta.Um homem foi resgatado, mas um adolescente de 13 anos, uma criança de 4 anos e uma mulher de 43 anos seguem desaparecidos. Em uma outra ocorrência na cidade, um homem fazia a limpeza de uma galeria quando foi arrastado pela água no bairro De Lazzer. Segundo balanço do órgão, 64 municípios do estado enfrentaram problemas com o temporal, sendo que 49 deles sofreram principalmente com os ventos. No município de Hulha Negra, por exemplo, as rajadas de vento chegaram a atingir 126,7 km/h. Já em Caxias do Sul, a chuva acumulada em um só dia chegou a 159,4 milímetros. Em Pelotas, a prefeitura informou que o temporal destelhou casas e provocou a queda de muitas árvores, deixando famílias desalojadas. Em Nova Santa Rita, a prefeitura informou que 400 casas foram destelhadas. Por causa do temporal, a administração municipal de Nova Santa Rita decidiu suspender as aulas em diversas escolas da cidade. Em Igrejinha, a prefeitura informou que o Rio Paranhana atingiu a cota de 3,5 metros e entrou em estágio de atenção, uma escala antes do nível de alerta. Mais de 100 casas ficaram destelhadas na cidade. Segundo o Centro de Monitoramento da Defesa Civil Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul, as chuvas das últimas 12 horas estão provocando a elevação dos arroios e rios na região hidrográfica do rio Guaíba e, com a possibilidade de continuidade das chuvas, há riscos para alagamentos, enxurradas e extravasamento de rios. A previsão é de que ao longo desta tarde a condição de chuva intensa e volumosa em curto período de tempo continue a atingir as áreas do Norte, Vales e Serra do estado, com acumulados oscilando entre 50 e 80 milímetros em 12 horas. Como já foram registrados acumulados durante essa madrugada, a Defesa Civil emitiu um alerta para essas regiões. Nas áreas Noroeste, Norte e Nordeste do estado há condição para tempestades, com queda de granizo e rajadas intensas de vento, que podem superar os 90 km/h. O alerta vale até a próxima quarta-feira (23).

This app remembers your settings on your device. May we also count your category, region, and news-source selections to improve World News?

With Yes, we may also estimate your country/state/city on our server when a local location database is available. No GPS location, search text, or saved-filter names go into these statistics. Your answer is remembered for 180 days. New totals are archived weekly for up to 52 completed weeks. Basic page-request counts use no visitor identifiers regardless of your choice. After No, sharing just your visitor region is separately optional.

No is absolutely fine. You can still use the website.

Would you share just your region?

Statistics are off. If you wish, tell us which part of the world you are in. This is your location, not the news regions you follow.
