Privacy policy

What we collect when you visit FirePitSpot, why, and how you can control it.

This policy applies to firepitspot.com and is reviewed periodically for accuracy.

The short version

We do not require an account or collect personal information just to read the site.
We use cookies for basic site function and, where enabled, analytics and affiliate tracking.
Amazon's affiliate cookie is set when you click an Amazon link and is governed by Amazon's own privacy policy, not ours.
If you contact us directly, we keep your message and reply, and nothing more.
We do not sell personal information.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

If you contact us through our contact page or by email, we receive whatever information you choose to include, typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you and do not add it to a marketing list without your separate consent.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, FirePitSpot may automatically log standard technical information when you visit, including your browser type, general device information, referring page, and pages viewed. This is typically collected through cookies or similar technologies and is used in aggregate to understand site usage and improve content, not to identify you individually.

Type	Purpose	Controlled by
Essential cookies	Basic site function	FirePitSpot
Analytics cookies	Understanding aggregate site usage	Analytics provider, if enabled
Affiliate tracking cookies	Attributing a purchase to a link click	Amazon, once you click an Amazon link

Affiliate links and third party tracking

FirePitSpot participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, described in full in our affiliate disclosure. When you click a link to Amazon from this site, Amazon may set its own cookie on your browser to track that referral. That cookie and any data it collects are governed by Amazon's privacy policy, not this one, since we do not control or receive personal data through that process beyond aggregate reporting on which links were clicked.

How we use information

To respond to messages sent through our contact page.
To understand, in aggregate, which content is useful so we can improve the site.
To maintain basic site security and function.

We do not sell personal information to third parties, and we do not use information collected through this site to build individual advertising profiles beyond what standard analytics or affiliate tracking cookies do on their own.

Your choices

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings, which will affect analytics tracking and Amazon's affiliate attribution but will not prevent you from reading the site. If you have contacted us directly and want your message or contact information deleted from our records, reach out through the contact page and we will honor that request.

Children's privacy

FirePitSpot is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or applicable law changes. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
