This privacy policy describes how ElmWeekly (elmweekly.org) handles information in connection with your use of this website.
Information Collected
ElmWeekly is a static informational website. No accounts, user registration or server-side data collection are in place. The contact form on the About page operates as a client-side simulation and does not transmit data to any server or third party.
Standard web server access logs may record IP addresses, referrer URLs, browser type and page requests. This is a technical function of web hosting and is not used for profiling or tracking individual users.
Cookies and Local Storage
A cookie consent banner is displayed on first visit to the homepage. Your response (Accept or Reject) is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key elmweekly_cookie_consent. No cookies are set by this site itself.
Third-party resources loaded by this site include:
- Google Fonts — loaded via CDN for typography. Google's own privacy policy applies to this request.
- Images from Wikimedia Commons — loaded directly from Wikimedia's servers. Wikimedia's privacy policy applies.
If you reject cookies, site functionality is unchanged. The banner will not reappear.
