Privacy & Cookies

Astriq (astriq.org) offers free horoscope, tarot and oracle readings for reflection and entertainment. This page explains in plain English what information we handle, why, and what you can do about it.
The short version
- You can read horoscopes and get free readings without an account.
- We do not save your readings or the questions you ask.
- If you sign in with Google to unlock a premium reading, we save your email address and Google account ID so you can sign in again. That is all we keep about you.
- We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful.
If you only browse or take a free reading
We do not ask for your name or email, and we do not keep a record of your readings. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records technical details of each visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We use this only to keep the site running securely and to limit abuse.
If you sign in to unlock a premium reading
Premium readings use Google sign-in. When you sign in we store:
- your email address;
- your Google account ID (a number Google gives us so we can recognise you); and
- the date your account was created.
We do not receive your Google password, and we do not store your name, photo or reading history. We keep this information until you ask us to delete it. We use it only to let you sign in and unlock premium readings, and we do not sell it.
After you sign in, a small session cookie keeps you signed in while you use the site.
Services that help create your readings
To write your reading, the details you choose are sent to AI services:
- OpenAI and Google (Gemini) receive the details needed to write a reading, such as your star sign, the topic you pick, the time period, your chosen guide and the cards drawn. Please do not type personal details such as your full name, address or health information into any reading box.
- VedAstro supplies the day’s planetary positions. We send it a date and a location (London), not any information about you.
- Google Translate, if you use the language option, processes the text of the page you are translating.
These services have their own privacy policies. Readings are written by AI and are for entertainment and self-reflection only.
Cookies and analytics
- Essential: a session cookie that keeps you signed in after you log in.
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used (for example pages visited, device type and approximate location). It sets cookies and identifiers in your browser. We do not use advertising cookies. You can turn analytics off for this browser using the switch below, use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or block cookies in your browser.
This choice is saved in this browser only. If you clear your browser data or use another device, you can switch it off again here.
Information saved on your own device
Some choices are saved in your browser only and are never sent to us: your language, the zodiac sign you choose as “my sign”, the last few signs you viewed, and your daily visit streak. You can remove them at any time with “Forget my choices” on the home page, or by clearing your browser’s site data.

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it.
