Privacy

Gift Giving Journal is published by Avenor Inc. Contact us at hello@avenorhq.com with privacy questions.

Reading the journal

Our pages have no visitor accounts, forms, advertising pixels or embedded third-party media. Optional readership analytics is off unless you choose “Allow analytics.” Declining does not affect access to any article. You can change your choice using “Analytics settings” in the footer. We also respect browser Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals.

Serving a website involves technical information such as your IP address, browser, requested page and request time. Hosting and network providers may process this information to deliver pages, maintain reliability and protect against abuse. This is separate from advertising or readership analytics.

Optional readership analytics

If enabled and you opt in, we send PostHog (hosted in the United States) pageviews and clicks on Serenade links. Events include the journal domain and site label, page path, article identifier, a broad source category (such as Google or direct), event time and a random identifier for this browser tab. We do not send URL query strings or fragments, referring-page addresses, names, email addresses, message text or payment details. We do not record sessions, create person profiles or automatically capture other clicks. Network requests necessarily reveal technical information such as your IP address to the service; we request no IP geolocation enrichment.

We remember your analytics choice in local storage for up to 180 days. Only after consent, a random analytics identifier is kept in session storage for this tab. Turning analytics off clears that identifier and stops future events; it does not erase events already received. No analytics cookies are used. If browser storage is unavailable, your preference may not persist. Analytics can be blocked by your browser, so measurements cover only participating readers.

Contacting us

If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any information you choose to include. We use that information to respond and handle your request. Please avoid sending payment details or other sensitive information.

Links to other sites

If you follow a provider link, that provider's privacy practices apply. Serenade links include the publication name and article identifier for attribution. Those link parameters do not include a reader's name or email address. Your browser may also send technical information when opening the destination.

Questions and requests

Email hello@avenorhq.com about information you have shared with us or to request a correction or deletion. We may need enough information to identify the relevant correspondence and verify your request.
