MSN Weather uses cookies to tailor forecasts, remember your preferred locations, and deliver relevant advertising. Australian travellers should be aware that these small data files track browsing habits, and you can adjust cookie settings in your browser or Microsoft account to limit data collection.
What cookies does MSN Weather set?
MSN Weather deploys both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies that store preferences like your default city for up to two years. Third-party advertising cookies may also appear on the site to serve ads based on your browsing history, including Australian travel destinations you’ve searched for previously.
How can I manage MSN Weather cookies in Australia?
Most web browsers let you block or delete cookies site-by-site. For example, in Chrome or Edge you can clear MSN’s cookies under “Site settings”. If you have a Microsoft account, signing out before using MSN Weather will reduce personalisation, though some functional cookies remain necessary for the live forecast above to load correctly.
Does MSN Weather share cookie data with third parties?
Yes. Advertisers and analytics partners (such as Microsoft’s network) may receive anonymised cookie data to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of interest-based advertising via the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard.
Can I use MSN Weather without cookies?
You can disable cookies in your browser, but the live forecast above may not load correctly, and your preferred location settings will not be saved between visits. Basic weather data can still be viewed manually.
How do I delete MSN Weather cookies on my phone?
On iOS or Android, open your browser settings, find “Clear browsing data”, tick “Cookies”, and choose MSN Weather in the site list. Alternatively, clear all cookies to reset tracking across all sites.
For Australian travellers checking conditions on the go, understanding cookie usage helps you control your data. Compare local forecasts at our Australia weather hub, or read how personalisation works when planning a trip to Bali.
