Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use them to remember your preferences and to measure site traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although parts of the site may not work as intended.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site, such as which pages are read most.

When you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and comment text you submit, along with your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. Your email address is never published.

An anonymised string created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it and to display your profile picture. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. You can ask us to delete your comments at any time.

Affiliate links and third parties

Our guides contain affiliate links to retailers such as Amazon. When you click these links, the retailer may place cookies on your device to track the referral. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we do not control how they handle your data.

Advertising

We may display advertising on GivingFeels through third party advertising partners. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads that are relevant to you and to measure how ads perform. When advertising is active on the site, this policy will be updated with details of the partner and how to manage your ad choices.

Advertising partners may use cookies to show interest based ads. You can learn more and opt out of interest based advertising from participating companies at optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org. You can also limit ad tracking in your browser or device settings. Opting out does not remove ads, it means the ads you see will be less relevant to you.
