Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2025

At A Girl and a Spoon, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information this site may collect, how it is used, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

The site may collect the following information when you use this website:

Personal Information you voluntarily provide (such as your name or email address if you leave a comment or fill out a form).
Non-Personal Information automatically collected (such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring website).
Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies to improve user experience, analyze site traffic, deliver relevant ads, or for affiliate links.

2. How Your Information May be Used

Collected information may be used to:

Send you updates or responses, newsletters, or promotional content you’ve opted in to.
Improve, operate, and personalize the website.
Monitor and analyze website performance.
Comply with legal obligations.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

3. Affiliate Links & Advertising

This site contains affiliate links. That means if you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

I participate in affiliate programs, such as Amazon Services LLC Associates Programs and others.

Third-party advertisers and affiliate programs may use cookies to track clicks or purchases for commission purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Information may be shared with third-party services, including:

Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site.
Email marketing services (e.g., Mailchimp) to manage newsletters.
Affiliate networks (e.g., Amazon Associates) for tracking commissions.
Automated spam detection services to monitor and filter spam in visitor comments.

These third parties have their own privacy policies, and information can be provided upon request.

5. Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, social media posts, etc.,). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website, such as Instagram.

6. Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Cookies for Affiliate Links may last anywhere from 24 hours to 120 days, depending on the Advertiser (company).

7. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

Requesting access to or deleting of your personal data.
Opting out of cookies or targeted advertising.
Unsubscribing from email communications at any time (via the “unsubscribe link in emails).
