Hearthwise respects your privacy. This page explains, in plain language, what we collect and why.

What we collect

We use standard, privacy-respecting analytics to understand which articles are useful — for example, anonymized page views and general location at the country level. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for personal information to read our content.

Cookies

We may use cookies for analytics and to remember basic preferences. Affiliate partners we link to may set their own cookies once you leave our site; their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

How we use information

Only to improve our content and understand what readers find helpful. We do not sell your personal information.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not stop you from reading anything on this site.
