Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how basilcarmel.com collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the site.

What we collect

Basil Carmel runs minimal first-party data collection. We do not require registration, do not run user accounts, and do not collect personal information directly.

Standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps of page views. These are retained for operational purposes only (security, performance) and are not sold or shared.

Cookies

basilcarmel.com uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies to measure visits (see Analytics below). We do not use cookies for advertising. When you click an outbound link to Amazon, Amazon sets its own cookies, including one that lets Amazon credit this site for a qualifying purchase — those are not under our control and are subject to Amazon's privacy policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages get traffic and which links get clicked. It uses cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, the pages you view and the site that referred you. We do not use it to identify individual visitors and we do not sell this data. Google describes its handling of this information in How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Third-party links

This site contains affiliate links to Amazon. Clicking these links sends you to Amazon's site, where their privacy policy applies. See our affiliate disclosure for details on how this works.

Children

basilcarmel.com is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, the updated version will appear on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
