Privacy Policy

Door County Guide is a visitor guide to Door County, Wisconsin. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short because we collect very little.

What we collect

If you sign up for email updates, we store the email address you give us, which page you signed up from, and the date. That's it — we don't ask for your name or anything else.

Standard technical logs. Like any website, our host records basic request information (such as IP address and browser type) to keep the site running and secure. We don't use this to identify individual visitors.

Analytics and cookies

We measure how the site is used so we can improve it, and we try to do it in the least intrusive way:

• Cloudflare Web Analytics gives us privacy-first, aggregate counts (which pages get visited, roughly where visitors come from). It sets no cookies and can't be used to identify you. It's always on.
• Google Analytics gives us more detail and uses cookies. How it starts depends on where you're visiting from:
  • In the EU/EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, it's opt-in. Google Analytics runs in a limited, cookieless mode until you accept the cookie banner. You can decline, and nothing breaks.
  • Everywhere else, it's on by default, and you can opt out at any time.
  We never use it for advertising. The site runs no ads, and all advertising signals stay off.

Your privacy choices

Use the Privacy choices link at the bottom of every page (or the button below) to accept or decline Google Analytics cookies, or to change a choice you made earlier. Your choice is saved in this browser.

Open privacy choices

Browser opt-out signals. We honorGlobal Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends it, Google Analytics cookies stay off wherever you are, even if you've accepted them before. We don't respond to "Do Not Track," which browsers have largely retired in favor of GPC.

How we use it

We use your email address only to send you the Door County updates you signed up for — things like new guides and events worth planning around. We send email no more often than we have something genuinely worth your time.

What we don't do

We don't sell, rent, or trade your email address, and we don't share it with advertisers. We use trusted service providers to store data and send email on our behalf, and they may only use it to provide those services to us.

Your choices

Every email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time. You can also ask us to delete your information entirely — just emailhello@doorcountyguide.com and we'll take care of it.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. Material changes will be noted on this page.
