This page explains what The Homestead Post collects when you visit, why, and what you can do about it. We’ve tried to write it in plain English rather than legal boilerplate.
Analytics: no cookies, no personal data
We measure audience with a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we host ourselves. It does not set cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not collect or store any personal data. It counts page views, referring sites, approximate country, and general device type — all aggregated, none of it tied to you as an individual. There is nothing to opt out of because there is nothing identifying you in the first place.
Cookies
We do not set advertising or tracking cookies of our own. WordPress may set a functional cookie if you leave a comment or log in to an account. Embedded third-party content (a video player, for example) can set its own cookies once you interact with it — those are governed by that provider’s policy, not ours.
Advertising
Pages on this site may carry advertising. Ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to select and measure ads, subject to their own privacy policies and to the choices available in your browser and operating system. Where local law gives you a right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for advertising, you can exercise it by contacting us at the address below.
What you send us
If you use the contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you type, and we use them only to reply to you. We don’t add you to a mailing list from a contact form, and we don’t sell or rent contact details to anyone.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Since our analytics hold no personal data, this generally concerns correspondence you have sent us. Write to us and we will act on the request.
Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top of this page.
