Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how LocalGrove.org ("the site", "we") handles information when you visit the site. This is a static informational site. It does not operate user accounts, sell products, or process payments.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and time of access. This information is used for basic security and analytics purposes only and is not combined with personal identifiers.
If analytics tools are enabled on this site, they may collect aggregated, anonymised data on page visits and traffic sources. No personally identifiable information is tracked through analytics.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses browser localStorage to remember your cookie consent choice. A "cookie banner" is shown on your first visit. Selecting Accept or Reject saves your preference in your browser's localStorage under the key lg_cookie. This data remains in your browser and is not transmitted to any server.
No third-party tracking cookies are set by this site. If external resources (such as fonts from Google Fonts) are loaded, the third party's own privacy policy applies to any data they collect.
