The short version
For a Quieter Life is a reading site. There are no accounts, no comments, no email signup, and nothing for sale here. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages people read. Visit data is sent to Google to provide that service. We don’t sell personal information or run ads on this site.
What we collect
Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read, how people arrive (for example, from a search engine), and roughly where they are, at the city or country level. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to tell new visits from returning ones. We use this only to decide what to write next and to fix what isn’t working. The site shows no ads, and we don’t use analytics to identify you.
Hosting. The site is hosted on Google Firebase. Like any web host, it handles standard technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and keep the site secure.
Email. If you write to us, we receive your email address and message, and we use them only to reply.
Your choices
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works the same without them.
- You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site with Google’s browser add-on.
- To learn how Google handles this data, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
- If you have questions, or would like us to delete an email you sent, write to hello@foraquieterlife.com.
Links to other sites
Our guides link to many outside organizations, such as parks, gardens, and libraries. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we don’t control.
Children
This site is written for adults and doesn’t knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If anything here changes, for example if we start an email newsletter, we will update this page and the date at the top.
