Privacy Policy

Overview

This privacy policy describes how Cindergrove (the website at cindergrove.eu) handles information in connection with your use of the site. Cindergrove is a static informational website. It does not operate user accounts, does not collect personal information for its own purposes, and does not transmit personal data to third-party services for tracking or advertising.

Data we collect

Cindergrove does not actively collect personal data. The website does not use analytics tracking, advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels.

When you visit the site, your browser sends a standard HTTP request to the server hosting the site. Server-side access logs may record your IP address, the pages requested, the time of the request, and your browser user-agent string. These logs are used for server maintenance and security monitoring purposes only and are not used to build user profiles.

Browser storage (localStorage)

The site uses the browser's localStorage API to store a single preference: your response to the cookie consent notice shown on the homepage. This value is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to any server. It contains only the string "accepted" or "rejected" and is used solely to prevent the notice from being displayed again after you have responded to it.

You can clear this value at any time by clearing your browser's site data for cindergrove.eu.

Contact form

The contact form on the About page is a client-side only form. When you complete and submit the form, the data you enter is not transmitted to any server. The form simulates a submission response for usability purposes only. No message is sent, stored, or received by any party as a result of using this form. If you wish to contact the site owner, please use the email address provided in the contact section.

External links and third-party content

This site contains links to external websites including UNESCO, Wikimedia Commons, government agencies, and academic institutions. Cindergrove does not control these external sites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. When you follow a link to an external site, that site's own privacy policy applies.

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). Your browser will make a direct request to Wikimedia Commons servers when loading these images, which may result in your IP address being recorded in Wikimedia's server logs. Wikimedia's privacy policy is available at meta.wikimedia.org.

Web fonts

This site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. When your browser loads this font, a request is made to Google's servers, which may log your IP address and other request metadata. Google's privacy policy governs the processing of this data and is available at policies.google.com. If you prefer not to load fonts from Google servers, you can disable web font loading in your browser settings.

Your rights

As Cindergrove does not collect or store personal data beyond server access logs (which are retained for a limited period for security purposes), there is no personal data held by the site that can be subject to access, correction, or deletion requests in the conventional sense. If you have specific questions about data processed in connection with your use of this site, you may submit a query through the About page.

Changes to this policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
