This privacy policy explains how A Year From Oak Cottage handles information from readers. The site is a small food and cottage-life blog, and it is not built around collecting personal data.
Who we are
The website address is https://ayearfromoakcottage.com. You can contact us at info@ayearfromoakcottage.com.
Information you choose to send
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use that information only to read and reply to you. We do not sell it or add it to a mailing list.
Comments
If comments are enabled on a post, WordPress may collect the details shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent. This helps with spam detection and moderation.
Cookies
WordPress may use cookies for logged-in users, comment preferences and basic site functions. These cookies help the site work properly. You can block cookies in your browser, although some parts of the site may not behave as expected.
Images and embedded content
Some images on this site may be loaded from external image services or from the WordPress media library. Posts may also include embedded content in the future, such as videos or social posts. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly.
Analytics
At the time of this update, the site does not use a separate analytics service configured by us. Hosting providers and WordPress security tools may still keep basic technical logs, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of access.
How long information is kept
Emails are kept only as long as they are useful for replying or keeping a reasonable record of correspondence. Comments, if enabled, may remain on the site unless removed by an administrator.
Your choices
You can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or ask us to delete information we no longer need to keep. Email info@ayearfromoakcottage.com with your request.
Changes to this policy
This page may be updated as the site grows or if new features are added. The date at the top will change when that happens.
