🌳 Ecosia partnership
Section titled “🌳 Ecosia partnership”I’m also happy to announce a renewed partnership with Ecosia, the search engine that uses its profits to fund climate-positive projects. Keeping Ecosia as your default helps create tangible impact while you browse.
- Real-world impact: Ecosia invests the majority of its profits into tree planting, biodiversity, and broader climate solutions, with transparent monthly reports.
- More privacy by default: Ecosia does not build cross-platform personal profiles for ad targeting. Personalization features and cookies are opt-in and require your consent.
- Greener infrastructure: Ecosia runs on renewable energy and is steward-owned to protect its mission for the long term.
- Quality results you expect: Ecosia is rolling out Google-powered results and ads for a growing number of users by default; otherwise results come via Microsoft Bing. You can choose Microsoft Bing instead within Ecosia’s settings.
- Consent and cookies: In the EU, UK, and certain US states, Google will not set additional cookies without your consent. In other locations, additional cookies may apply depending on your Google account and settings. You are also free to adjust your cookie preferences anytime via the settings page. Learn more in Ecosia’s privacy policy.
