WoodStoveCode ("we," "our," or "this site") is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used when you visit woodstovecode.pages.dev. This policy explains our practices in plain language.

Information We Collect

Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, what devices they use, and how they arrived at the site. Google Analytics collects this data using cookies and assigns anonymous identifiers. No personally identifiable information is collected by our analytics setup.

Log data. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) automatically records basic server logs including IP addresses, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. This data is used for security monitoring and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Contact email. If you email us at info@woodstovecode.com, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list.

No forms or accounts. This site has no user accounts, no registration, and no forms that collect personal data beyond the contact email address above.

Cookies

This site uses cookies in two ways:

• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): These cookies collect anonymous usage data to help us understand site performance. They do not contain personally identifiable information.
• Advertising cookies (Google AdSense, when active): WoodStoveCode is supported by Google AdSense advertising. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

Advertising

This site participates in Google AdSense, a third-party advertising program operated by Google LLC. Google uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on visitors' interests and prior browsing behavior. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visits to this and other sites on the internet.

WoodStoveCode does not control the content of Google-served ads and does not receive any personally identifiable visitor information in connection with advertising.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Users may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

How We Use Information

• To understand which guides are most helpful and which need improvement
• To monitor site performance and identify technical problems
• To respond to contact inquiries
• To display relevant advertising through Google AdSense

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adult homeowners, contractors, and real estate professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

External Links

This site links to external resources including government websites, the EPA Certified Wood Heater Database, and NFPA standards. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

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