Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Local And Shore Garden Notes handles information when you visit localandshore.org. The site is an editorial reference and is intentionally simple in how it treats visitor data.
Cookies and local storage
When you first arrive at the home page, a banner asks whether you accept cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage so the banner does not appear again on that device. This preference stays in your browser; clearing your browser storage will reset it and the banner will appear again.
The contact form
The contact form on this site runs entirely in your browser. When you submit it, the form simulates sending and shows a confirmation message, but no data is transmitted to or stored on a server by this site. Information you type into the form is not retained after you leave the page.
Information we do not collect
- We do not operate user accounts or logins.
- We do not sell or share personal information.
- The contact form does not deliver your message to a server through this site.
External links and images
Pages link to external references and load images hosted by Wikimedia Commons. Those third-party services have their own privacy practices, which are outside the control of this site. Reviewing their policies is recommended if you have concerns about third-party hosting.
