Privacy Policy of Hippocampus's Garden
Hippocampus's Garden operates https://hippocampus-garden.com/. This page explains what information may be processed when you visit the site, which third-party services are involved, and how you can control optional analytics cookies.
The site is a personal blog. It does not offer account registration, comments, or contact forms that ask visitors to submit names, phone numbers, or postal addresses directly on the site.
Log Data
Like most websites, the servers and platforms involved in delivering this site may record technical data such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, visited pages, timestamps, and similar diagnostic information. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate traffic analysis.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site uses a small consent record in your browser so your analytics preference can be remembered across page views and future visits.
Analytics cookies are optional on this site. If you click Accept in the cookie banner, Google Analytics may use analytics cookies for measurement. If you click Reject, the site will continue to work normally and Google Analytics will operate without analytics cookies.
You can reopen the banner and change your choice at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
Third-Party Services
The site relies on the following external services:
- Google Analytics: used to understand aggregate site usage, such as popular pages and navigation patterns. When consent is granted, it may use analytics cookies. When consent is rejected, limited cookieless measurement signals may still be sent to support aggregate reporting.
- Google Search Console: used by the site owner to monitor search performance, indexing, and technical issues. It is not used as a visitor-facing optional cookie category in the banner.
- Amazon Associates / affiliate links: some posts link to Amazon products using affiliate links. If you click one of those links, Amazon may collect information according to its own policies and may set cookies or other tracking technologies on its own sites.
When you interact with third-party services or leave this site through affiliate links, their own terms and privacy policies apply.
Legal Basis for Analytics
Where consent is required under applicable law, Google Analytics is processed on the basis of your consent. If you do not consent, analytics cookies are not used, and measurement is limited to cookieless requests used for aggregate reporting.
Security
Reasonable efforts are made to keep the site secure, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.
Links to Other Sites
The site may link to external websites. Once you leave this site, the privacy practices of the destination website are controlled by that third party, not by Hippocampus's Garden.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from children through direct submission features on the site.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. The latest version will always be published on this page.
