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.

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.

5º leilão do Eco Invest atrai quase R$ 50 bi para investimentos verdes

O quinto Leilão do Eco Invest Brasil teve R$ 49,95 bilhões em propostas homologadas para investimentos verdes, destinados a seis cadeias produtivas ligadas à inovação e à transformação ecológica. A rodada recebeu uma demanda total de R$ 181,3 bilhões, apresentada por seis instituições financeiras. O resultado foi homologado nesta quarta-feira (7) pelo Comitê Executivo do Eco Invest Brasil, formado por representantes dos ministérios da Fazenda e do Meio Ambiente e Mudança do Clima. Notícias relacionadas:Projeto mapeia caminhos para economia verde no Nordeste.Fazenda autoriza crédito de US$ 1 bilhão do BID para Eco Invest Brasil.Os recursos serão direcionados a fundos de inovação, crédito corporativo e projetos de pesquisa aplicada e empreendedorismo de base tecnológica. Números do leilão R$ 49,95 bilhões: potencial de investimentos homologados; R$ 181,3 bilhões: demanda apresentada pelos bancos; Seis cadeias produtivas contempladas; Seis instituições financeiras participantes; R$ 13,2 bilhões: capital público catalítico (dinheiro que mobiliza outros projetos); R$ 250 milhões: mínimo previsto em doações no primeiro ano 3,8 vezes: cada R$ 1 em aporte do Tesouro gera R$ 3,8 em recursos privados. Selecionados Participaram da disputa Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Citibank, HSBC, Itaú e Santander. Ao final, quatro instituições foram selecionadas para estruturar os fundos e operações: Bradesco: circularidade de resíduos minerais, fertilizantes verdes e química verde, com R$ 28,5 bilhões em potencial de investimentos; Itaú: automação e inteligência artificial, com R$ 9,75 bilhões; Santander: minerais críticos, baterias e mobilidade elétrica, com R$ 6,5 bilhões; HSBC: combustíveis verdes avançados, biogás e biometano, com R$ 5,2 bilhões. O modelo prevê que cada instituição financeira atue em uma ou mais cadeias estratégicas, de acordo com sua capacidade de mobilizar capital privado. A cadeia de circularidade de resíduos minerais e industriais concentrou o maior potencial de investimentos, com R$ 11 bilhões. Na sequência, aparecem: Fertilizantes verdes, bioinsumos e proteínas alternativas: R$ 9 bilhões; Biomateriais e química verde: R$ 8,5 bilhões; Automação e inteligência artificial: R$ 9,75 bilhões; Minerais críticos, baterias e mobilidade elétrica: R$ 6,5 bilhões; Combustíveis verdes avançados, biogás e biometano: R$ 5,2 bilhões. Entre as atividades indicadas pelos bancos, a reciclagem e valorização de resíduos concentram R$ 8,8 bilhões, enquanto automação, robótica e manufatura inteligente reúnem cerca de R$ 8,11 bilhões. Biofertilizantes, bioinsumos e biodefensivos representam R$ 7,2 bilhões. Já baterias e sistemas de armazenamento de energia somam R$ 4,55 bilhões. Capital público Do capital público catalítico destinado à rodada, R$ 9 bilhões serão direcionados aos fundos de inovação e R$ 4,2 bilhões ao crédito corporativo. O mecanismo utiliza recursos públicos para reduzir riscos e estimular a entrada de capital privado. A chamada estrutura de blended finance busca ampliar o volume de recursos disponíveis sem transformar o dinheiro público em fonte prioritária de rentabilidade para as instituições financeiras. A alavancagem global do leilão ficou em aproximadamente 3,8 vezes. Na prática, cada R$ 1 de recursos públicos catalíticos deverá ajudar a mobilizar quase R$ 4 em capital público e privado. Além dos fundos e das linhas de crédito, os bancos selecionados terão de destinar recursos não reembolsáveis à pesquisa aplicada e ao empreendedorismo de base tecnológica. A previsão é de pelo menos R$ 250 milhões em doações no primeiro ano para universidades e instituições científicas, tecnológicas e de inovação. A intenção é aproximar empresas, instituições de pesquisa, startups e investidores, facilitando a passagem de novas tecnologias do desenvolvimento para a produção em escala. Os critérios do leilão também deram peso maior a propostas com participação de capital estrangeiro e a projetos desenvolvidos em parceria com universidades e instituições de pesquisa ou voltados à aquisição e internalização de tecnologias estrangeiras. Evolução do programa Criado no âmbito do Plano de Transformação Ecológica, o Eco Invest Brasil busca atrair investimentos privados, inclusive estrangeiros, para projetos relacionados à transição ecológica e ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Nos quatro primeiros leilões, o programa havia mobilizado mais de R$ 140 bilhões. Com os R$ 49,95 bilhões homologados na quinta rodada, o volume acumulado se aproxima de R$ 200 bilhões. O governo considera o programa uma das principais plataformas de financiamento climático e desenvolvimento sustentável do país, ao combinar recursos públicos, mecanismos de redução de riscos e investimentos privados de longo prazo.

Campanha busca engajamento para reduzir desperdício de alimento

A campanha #FazAXepa chega às redes sociais de restaurantes, empresas e às feiras e mercados com o objetivo de reduzir o desperdício de alimentos e transformar a forma como as pessoas percebem os alimentos que estão fora dos padrões estéticos, por causa de desafios logísticos ou falhas operacionais. A iniciativa do programa Brasil Sem Desperdício, uma cooperação das organizações sociais WWF-Brasil e o Waste & Resources Action Programme (Wrap), chama a atenção para a disparidade entre o desperdício de 30% do que é produzido pelo Brasil e a existência de 55 milhões de brasileiras e brasileiros, que vivem algum nível de insegurança alimentar, segundo dados do IBGE. Notícias relacionadas:Capital fluminense integra programa global de gestão de resíduos. Plataforma do BB reduz em 72% perda de comida em escolas públicas.“A iniciativa parte da compreensão de que o desperdício não acontece apenas por falta de planejamento, mas também por padrões culturais que nos levam a rejeitar alimentos perfeitamente próprios para consumo por questões estéticas ou pela ideia equivocada de abundância”, destaca Luiza Soares, líder do programa Brasil Sem Desperdício. Para aproximar o conceito do dia a dia das pessoas, a campanha faz uso do termo xepa, aplicado às sobras do fim da feira, para propor uma mudança de comportamento em que o que está fora de padrão ganha o valor de ingrediente fundamental na alimentação e nos negócios de todo o país. Ao longo de todo o mês de outubro, marcado pelo Dia Mundial da Alimentação, dia 16, a campanha terá ações com a atriz Laila Zaid e a chef Bel Coelho em feiras e restaurantes populares para debater o assunto. Também serão veiculados nas redes sociais do programa das empresas parceiras vídeos com entrevistas, declarações e receitas com alimentos maduros, rejeitados, fora do padrão estético ou próximos do descarte. De acordo com Luiza Soares, a expectativa é estimular uma reflexão coletiva sobre a forma como atribuímos valor aos alimentos e incentivar mudanças concretas de comportamento. “Queremos que mais pessoas passem a enxergar o aproveitamento dos alimentos como uma prática simples, possível e desejável”, diz. Para os organizadores da campanha, além da segurança alimentar, o desperdício de alimento também significa desperdício de recursos naturais e energéticos empregados na produção e descarte, que causam impactos ambientais e climáticos. “O desperdício de alimentos é, ao mesmo tempo, uma ineficiência econômica, uma pressão ambiental e uma injustiça social”, reforça Luiza. Para responder a essa ineficiência, a campanha busca o engajamento de todos os setores da sociedade, desde o consumidor até as grandes empresas que comercializam alimentos e as organizações sociais e pesquisadores que possam propor inovações e soluções para estancar o desperdício. “A transformação não virá de iniciativas isoladas, ela depende da capacidade de empresas, governos, academia e sociedade colaborarem em torno de um objetivo comum, compartilhando aprendizados e definindo novos padrões”, avalia Luiza Soares.

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.
