Disclosure Policy
Love Bloom & Learn respects your privacy and values having you come to visit. I don’t publicize or share any of your information with a third party other than to gather data through cookies.
Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer, mobile device, or any other device by a website, containing the details of your browsing history on that website among its many uses.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
You can turn off cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of your web browser. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our service. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our service may use cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Amazon Affiliates: Love Bloom & Learn participates in the Amazon Affiliates Program. This program provides blogs, like myself, with a percentage compensation for advertising Amazon.com/Amazon.ca and linking to Amazon.com/Amazon.ca products when I suggest them in a post. An Amazon.com/Amazon.ca link does not persuade me to like a product more than just share it in a post. If you see an Amazon.com/Amazon.ca affiliate link, I truly love the product and want to share it with you. The bonus for me is that I can make a small commission from what you may already buy. This commission does not cost the consumer any extra cost. All opinions stated remain my own. I will note these products with a tag that it is an “affiliate link”. As a third party, Amazon also uses cookies to track their advertising on my site and their links. You are welcome to read more about the Amazon Affiliates program in their Operating Agreement.
Sponsored Posts: A sponsored post is one that has been written in exchange for compensation/product. However, all opinions and beliefs expressed in a sponsored post are still entirely my own, and I often work with brands I have used.
Advertising: This site is affiliated with Google AdSense for the purposes of placing advertisement on the Site, and Google AdSense will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes. To learn more about Goggle AdSense’s data usage, click here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google Advertising Cookies: Google uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on the websites of its partners, such as websites displaying Google ads or participating in Google certified ad networks. When users visit a Google partner’s website, a cookie may be dropped on that end user’s browser.
