This Privacy Policy explains what information olives101.com collects, how it is used, and the choices you have — including how advertising and cookies work on this site.

Who we are

olives101.com (“we,” “us,” “this site”) is an independent publication about olives and olive oil. You can reach us via our contact page.

Information we collect

We aim to collect as little as possible. Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical data — such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit — in routine log files used to keep the site secure and working. If you contact us, we keep the information you send only to reply to you.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to keep the site working, to understand how the site is used, and to serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertising. In doing so:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• For more on how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps, see Google’s policy.

If you are in a region that requires consent for personalised advertising (such as the EEA or UK), you may be shown a consent option, and non-personalised ads may be served if you decline.

Analytics

We may use standard, privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate, anonymous traffic patterns (for example, which articles are popular). This data is not used to personally identify you.

External links

Our articles link to other websites (sources, references and producers). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites; this policy applies only to olives101.com.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

You can browse most of this site without providing any personal information. You can manage cookies in your browser, opt out of personalised ads via the links above, and contact us with any privacy question.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
