Cookie/privacy policy

This policy is written to inform you which information AlopecianGirlboss contains, how we use it, which cookies we use and why. It is a combination of a privacy and cookie policy.

So, what information do we collect?

As we use Wix to create our website, we use the app “visitor analytics” to analyse our website. The only information we are able to access and therefore use are:

How many visitors https://alopeciangirlboss.wixsite.com/alopeciangirlboss had in the past 4 weeks and how many of them are unique.
How many page visits there were in the past 4 weeks.
Your IP address which we anonymized to our knowledge. This means that “Visitor analytics” will track you with a cookie, instead of your IP address.
We can see the amount of people from each country that has visited our website. This means that “Visitor analytics” tracks in which country you live. Furthermore, we can see which page you visited and when. To our knowledge, we cannot access more information than that. This also means I cannot see “who” you are.

We are also able to see what someone searched for in our “Site search”. Here, the fact that we cannot see who you are to our knowledge, applies as well.

The other information we collect are your e-mail address and name, ONLY when you sign up to our mailing list, log in or when you send us a message using the chat function. We will copy this information from the Wix website to our mailing list in Mailchimp, as we use that program for our mailing campaigns. Your e-mail will be used to send updates about AlopecianGirlboss, newsletters, blog and YouTube notifications.

We will keep this information until you don’t want to receive e-mails (click the unsubscribe button in the e-mails or email us at AlopecianGirlboss@gmail.com) or be a member of the website anymore.

First of all, what are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a site visitor's browser. They are typically used to keep track of the settings users have selected and actions they have taken on a site.
