Your privacy matters to us. This page explains clearly and honestly how Urban Garden Press collects, uses, and protects any information gathered when you visit this site. We are committed to full transparency. If you have any questions after reading this, please use the contact page.
Who We Are
Urban Garden Press is an independent blog covering home organisation, gardening, natural living, and healthy home habits. The site is operated by Joel Cresswell and is accessible at urbangardenpress.com. For any privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us through the contact page.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information: information you provide voluntarily, and information collected automatically when you visit the site.
Information you provide voluntarily includes any name, email address, or message content you submit through the contact form. We collect this solely to respond to your enquiry and do not add you to any mailing list, share your contact details with third parties, or use your information for any other purpose.
Information collected automatically includes data gathered through cookies and analytics tools when you visit the site. This includes pages visited, time spent on each page, the device and browser you are using, and your approximate geographic location at country or city level. This data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Urban Garden Press uses cookies in the following ways.
Analytics cookies are placed by Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use this site. These cookies track which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, and whether visitors are returning or new. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or by adjusting your browser cookie settings.
Advertising cookies are placed by Google AdSense, which serves advertisements on this site.
