Privacy Policy

    Tree Fluent is a glass-painting publication. This Privacy Policy explains what this website collects, how we use it, and how to reach us. It applies to information collected on this website, not to information collected offline or on other sites.

    If you have questions about this policy, email [email protected].

    Consent

    By using this website, you consent to this Privacy Policy.

    Information We Collect

    You can read the site without creating an account. If you contact us, we receive the name, email address, and message you choose to send, plus any files you attach.

    The hosting company also records standard server logs, described below.

    How We Use Your Information

    We use information we collect to:

    • Operate and maintain the website
    • Understand how the site is used, so we can improve it
    • Reply to messages sent through the contact form or email
    • Keep the site secure and look for abuse

    Log Files

    Like most websites, Tree Fluent uses server log files. These may include IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time, referring and exit pages, and the number of clicks. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, and diagnose problems. It is not combined here into a profile of you.

    Cookies and Analytics

    This site uses cookies that are needed to run WordPress (for example, if you log in to the dashboard), cookies or similar storage used by analytics tools, and cookies set by display advertising partners when ads are shown. See Advertising below for details.

    We use Independent Analytics to count visits and page views on this site. We also use Site Kit by Google, which may connect Google Analytics or Search Console. These tools help us see which pages are read. They are not used to sell a profile of you to advertisers.

    You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Some site features may not work if cookies are disabled.

    Contact Form

    The contact form is powered by WPForms. Submissions go to us at [email protected] so we can reply. We do not use contact-form messages for advertising lists.

    Newsletter

    Tree Fluent uses Grow (grow.me) subscribe forms to collect email for the site newsletter. If you subscribe, Grow processes that email so we can send newsletter messages. You can unsubscribe using the link in those emails.

    Affiliate Links

    Some links on Tree Fluent are Amazon Associates affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Commissions do not change the price you pay. Amazon may collect information according to its own privacy policy if you follow those links.

    Pinterest

    Public pages may include a Pinterest pin button so you can save an image. If you use that button, or if you are logged into Pinterest, Pinterest may set its own cookies. See Pinterest’s privacy policy for how it handles that data.

    Advertising

    Tree Fluent is monetized with display ads. The site works with advertising networks such as Journey by Mediavine to serve those ads.

    Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

    The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

    First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

    Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

    The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

    • IP Address
    • Operating System type
    • Operating System version
    • Device Type
    • Language of the website
    • Web browser type
    • Email (in hashed form)

    Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

    If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

    For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.
