The short version is that Simple Magick does not collect personal information about its readers. There are no accounts, no forms that send us anything, no advertising, and no tracking. The rest of this page explains that in detail.
Information we do not collect
You can read every page of this site without telling us who you are. We do not ask for your name, your email address, or any other personal detail. The site has no registration, no comments, no contact form, and no mailing list, so there is nowhere on it to enter such information.
Cookies and tracking
This site does not set cookies. It does not use analytics software, advertising networks, social media plugins, or tracking pixels. It does not load fonts, scripts, or images from other companies' servers. Every file that your browser requests comes from this site alone.
What is stored in your own browser
The site remembers one preference. If you choose the Southern Hemisphere on the moon or Wheel of the Year pages, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage, so that the dates remain correct the next time you visit. The setting stays on your own device and is never sent to us. You can remove it at any time by clearing the site data in your browser.
The moon and sabbat panels
The panels that show the phase of the moon and the next sabbat are calculated inside your browser, using the date and the time zone of your own device. Nothing about your location is requested or transmitted.
Search
The search page does its matching inside your browser, against a list of pages that has already been downloaded, and we keep no record of what you search for. The words that you type do become part of the address of the results page. That means they are saved in your browser's history, and, like any page address, they may appear in the short-term server logs described below.
Server logs
Like almost every website, this one is stored on a server that is run by a hosting provider. Such servers routinely keep short-term technical logs of requests, which may include an internet address, the date and time, the page requested, and the type of browser used. These logs exist for security and maintenance. We do not use them to identify readers or to build profiles of them.
Links to other sites
The pages of this site link only to one another. If that ever changes, any site that we link to will have privacy practices of its own, and we would encourage you to read them.
Children
This site is written for a general audience, mainly adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Privacy laws in many places give you the right to see, correct, or delete the personal information that an organization holds about you. Because this site holds none, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, or delete.
Changes to this policy
If the way the site works ever changes, this page will be updated first, and the date at the top will change with it.
