What this notice covers
Island Family Magazine is a small WordPress site focused on family travel and boating topics. This page explains what information reaches our site, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to islandfamilymagazine.com and the content we publish here.
Information we receive
We do not run an online shop, newsletter signup, advertising network, or analytics platform on this site. The information that reaches us is limited to the following situations.
When you browse the site
Our web host and content delivery network keep standard server logs so the site can be delivered reliably and securely. These logs typically include your IP address, the pages you requested, the date and time of the request, and your browser user agent. This information is used for technical operations such as routing traffic, preventing abuse, diagnosing errors, and producing basic aggregated metrics about site health.
WordPress may also set a temporary session cookie for logged-in administrators. Regular readers who simply view pages will not receive a login cookie from us.
Comments
Articles may allow readers to leave a comment. If you choose to comment, WordPress will collect the text you submit and, if you provide them, your name, email address, and website URL. Your IP address and browser user agent may be recorded to help with spam and fraud prevention. The name and comment you provide are public once approved and published beneath the article. Your email address is not published.
Email you send us
If you write to us at one of our published email addresses, we will receive the contents of your message, your email address, and any headers or attachments your mail provider includes. Email passes through and is stored by the respective mail services involved in delivering it.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses very few cookies:
• WordPress administrative cookies. These are set only for site administrators and editors to maintain a logged-in session.
• Commenter convenience cookies. If you leave a comment, WordPress may store your name, email, and website in cookies on your device so you do not have to re-enter them the next time you comment. These are optional and live on your device; you can clear them in your browser settings.
We do not set analytics, advertising, or affiliate tracking cookies.
