Who We Are

Our website address is https://waddleandcluck.com. Waddle and Cluck is a digital magazine covering homesteading, gardening, and self-sufficient living.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep the site working properly. If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Logging in (for site administrators) sets cookies that save login information and display choices. The third-party services described below — advertising, analytics, and embedded content — may also set their own cookies.

Advertising

Waddle and Cluck displays advertising through Google AdSense and its partners. These third parties use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits across the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings, opt out of many third-party vendor cookies at optout.aboutads.info, and read more in Google’s advertising and privacy documentation.

Affiliate Links

We participate in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you, and affiliate partners may set cookies to track referrals. These relationships never influence which products we recommend or what we write about them — see our Editorial Guidelines. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address (and any details you choose to provide) to send you updates, guides, and the occasional promotion. We manage our list through Mailchimp, which processes this data on our behalf under its own privacy policy. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the site — such as pages viewed, time on site, general location, and device type. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you. You can opt out using Google’s browser opt-out add-on.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had 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.

Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell your personal data. Information is shared only with the service providers described above — advertising, analytics, and email — to operate the site and its newsletter.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe. Aggregate analytics and advertising data are retained according to the policies of the third-party providers described above.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have subscribed to our newsletter or otherwise provided us personal data, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, and you can request that we erase it. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes, or data held by third-party providers under their own policies.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Data processed by our third-party providers (such as Google and Mailchimp) may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside your country, in line with those providers’ policies.
