Information We Do Not Collect
Norlinae does not operate a database, user registration system, or backend that stores personally identifiable information. The contact form on the About page processes submissions entirely in the browser and does not transmit data to any server. No form submissions are stored, forwarded, or processed.
Cookies and Local Storage
This site uses browser localStorage — not HTTP cookies — to store a single preference: whether you have dismissed the cookie notice banner on the homepage. This value is stored as norlinae_cookies in your browser's local storage and contains either the string accepted or rejected depending on your selection.
This preference is not transmitted to any server and is not accessible by this site's hosting infrastructure. It persists in your browser until you clear local storage or until the data expires according to your browser's own storage policies.
No tracking cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or session cookies are set by this site. No third-party cookie scripts are loaded.
Third-Party Content
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may result in a connection to Google's servers when you visit a page. Google's privacy practices are governed by their own policies available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Images displayed on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons infrastructure at upload.wikimedia.org. Loading these images results in a connection to Wikimedia's servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy is available at foundation.wikimedia.org.
No advertising networks, analytics services (including Google Analytics), social media tracking pixels, or similar third-party data collection systems are present on this site.
Hosting and Server Logs
Like all web servers, the hosting infrastructure serving this site may retain standard server access logs that record IP addresses, request timestamps, and requested URLs. These logs are managed by the hosting provider and are not used by the site operators for tracking or profiling. Retention periods are determined by the hosting provider's standard practices.
External Links
This site contains links to external websites including trail association websites, provincial parks agencies, and safety organizations. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies. Following a link to an external site transfers you to that site's data handling environment, which is outside the scope of this policy.
Children's Privacy
This site does not knowingly collect information from users under the age of 13. No account registration or data submission functionality is present on the site.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in site functionality or applicable requirements. Material changes will be reflected in a revised effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after such changes constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
