Privacy Policy
Last updated: 05.23.2026
Fern & Shelf (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates fernandshelf.com (the “Site”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Site.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly: When you contact us, comment on articles, or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you submit — typically your name and email address.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, referring website, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This information is collected through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies.
Affiliate link data: When you click an affiliate link on our Site (such as a link to Amazon), the destination retailer may set cookies and collect data to track the source of any subsequent purchase. We do not see your purchase details — only whether a referral was attributed to us.
How we use your information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Site
- To respond to inquiries you send us
- To send newsletters or product updates, but only if you have actively subscribed
- To analyze how the Site is used so we can improve our content
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services that may collect or process data about your visit:
- Google Analytics — to understand traffic patterns and content performance. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Amazon Associates and other affiliate networks — when you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer’s cookies and tracking apply.
- Hosting and CDN providers (Hostinger, Cloudflare) — to deliver the Site to you and protect against abuse.
