Privacy at Clever Girl Press

A clear choice about analytics.

This website works whether or not you allow analytics. We collect only the measurement information described here, and optional analytics stays off until you choose to allow it.

01

Overview

Clever Girl Press is an imprint of Clever Girl LLC. This notice covers press.clevergirl.app. The site does not currently offer user accounts, process purchases, accept contact-form submissions, or collect newsletter addresses.

The web server necessarily receives technical request information needed to deliver pages securely, such as the requested page, time of request, browser information, and network address. Server records are used for reliability and security rather than advertising.

02

Optional analytics

If you select Allow analytics, Google Tag Manager loads Google Analytics 4. Analytics can then measure pages viewed, referring sources, approximate region, device and browser characteristics, scrolling, downloads, and outbound-link interactions.

When a visitor selects an Amazon purchase link, we send an event named select_retailer with the retailer, destination URL, and visible link text. This tells us which editions readers are interested in; it does not tell us whether a purchase was completed.

We do not send names, email addresses, payment details, or Amazon account information to Analytics. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and ad personalization are set to denied.

03

Cookies and local storage

The site saves your privacy choice in your browser under clever_girl_analytics_consent. This necessary setting prevents the banner from returning on every page.

If you allow analytics, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. If you select Use necessary only, the site does not load Tag Manager or Analytics. Changing an accepted choice to necessary-only clears accessible Analytics cookies and reloads the page without Analytics.

04

Amazon and other external links

Book-purchase buttons lead to Amazon, which operates under its own privacy practices. Clever Girl Press does not receive your Amazon credentials or payment information. Our analytics records only the outbound click when you have allowed analytics.

05

Retention and your choices

Google Analytics event and user-level data is configured for 14-month retention. Aggregated reporting may be retained according to Google Analytics settings and policies. Search-performance data linked from Google Search Console is available in Analytics for up to 16 months.

You can change your choice at any time. Clearing this site’s browser storage also removes the saved preference and causes the choice banner to appear again.

06

Newsletter, contact, and notice updates

Newsletter sign-up and direct contact are not active. Before either begins collecting information, this notice will be updated and a protected contact method will be added. We do not publish the company’s operational email address because of spam and security concerns.

We may revise this notice as the site changes. The updated date at the top will reflect material revisions.
