Welcome to Routines and Roads (routinesandroads.com). Your privacy matters to me, and this policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how it’s used.
Who We Are

Information We Collect
Analytics This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are popular and how people find us. Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. You can learn more about how Google handles this data in the Google Privacy Policy.
Comments When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again the next time you comment. These cookies last for one year.
Embedded Content Some posts include embedded content from other websites, such as YouTube movie trailers. Embedded content behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that website directly, and those sites may collect data about you and track how you interact with that content.
Advertising & Affiliate Links
Routines and Roads may display ads from third-party advertising partners in the future, and some posts may contain affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. Any sponsored content or affiliate relationship will be clearly disclosed within the relevant post.
Advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
