Privacy

The Mountain Diary is a personal journal published by Margaret Donnelly at bow-valley-journal.com. There is no checkout. I am not collecting a mailing list.

What a visit leaves

The host computer keeps ordinary logs: time, address, browser string, which page was asked for. That is how a server knows it is working. I do not sell this. I do not build a marketing file from it.

Canadian rules I keep in mind

If you are in Canada, PIPEDA and Alberta’s PIPA are the frames. I keep as little as a notebook site needs. Logs age off with the host. If you want me to look at a line, write [email protected].

If you came from an advertisement

An ad does not give this journal extra rights over you. You are still reading a notebook. I do not add a shop because a banner existed.

Cookies

The host may set a small cookie so the site stays stable. I do not run third-party advertising cookies on these pages. You may block cookies in your browser; the writing will still be here.
