They're waterproof for outlets that don't always have something plugged in. If you need a waterproof outlet that's always going to have something plugged in, you need an "in use" style cover.
These are not legal unless the location is covered.

In-use waterproof outlet covers are always required when used in a "wet location", regardless of whether something will be normally plugged in or not. These do not meet that requirement. @pastorerik is right; the location needs to be covered to be considered "damp".
Says who? Different codes depending on where you live. But I bet money you can't show me a code that prohibits these from being installed
eh it's a push
"In the NEC 2008, Section 406.8(A) and (B) require receptacles installed in damp or wet locations to be weather-resistant." (This is for new construction and replacement nationally since 2008 in the US. See among other places, https://iaeimagazine.org/2008/jan...dentified/ ) basically it's a bubble world, we just live in it, but these are listed as weatherproof so would be allowable depending on locality/expected use.
The problem comes when you are selling or getting approval for building on/changing existing structures from your local planning department as the buyer/department can have you change some of the external outlets as part of the negotiations at least in theory. Some areas may have more teeth in the requiring compliance and their definition of weatherproof but for most places under the weatherproof headline these are fine as they are designed for temporary use when weather allows otherwise if say one of these is next to your pond you would need to have a bubble cover as it is obviously run 24/7 during certain months...
Careful. These aren't code compliant in some states. And honestly, for the price, get the one from orange/blue box store that allows you to close the lid with a cord connected. It's nearly the same price.
