Velvet Pine Horizon Where Serenity Meets Purpose

Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 27, 2026

This page tells you what Velvet Pine Horizon stores in your browser, what your browser fetches from other companies while you read, and what you can do about it.

Our own cookies and storage

The site does not set cookies of its own, and it does not write to your browser's local storage or session storage. For that reason there is no cookie banner or consent button: nothing needs your permission. The mobile menu, the article filter and the topic quiz all run in the page while it is open and keep nothing afterwards.

Analytics and advertising

We have not installed analytics, advertising, social media or tracking scripts, so we do not use cookies for measuring visitors or for showing you ads. If that ever changes, we will update this page first and, where it is required, ask for your consent before anything is stored.

What your browser loads from other companies

Google Fonts

The text is set in DM Sans and Inter. Your browser downloads these typefaces from Google's servers, which means Google can see your IP address, your browser type and the page you are on. What Google does with that data is governed by Google's own policies, not ours, and we have no control over it.

FormSubmit

Nothing is loaded from FormSubmit while you read. Only if you press the send button on the contact form or the newsletter form is your data sent to formsubmit.co, and from there it is delivered to us by email. After the form is accepted, you are returned to our thank-you page. See our Privacy Policy for what is sent. FormSubmit has its own policy and may set its own cookies on its own pages if you visit them, which we do not control.

Your hosting and network

The company that hosts the site, and the networks that carry the page to you, can record ordinary technical information, such as your IP address and the pages you request, in server logs. We do not set up reports from these logs.

Why there is no cookie banner

Earlier versions of this site showed a banner asking you to accept or decline cookies. We removed it, because a banner promises a choice that is not real when nothing is being tracked: pressing Accept or Decline changed nothing. Showing one would also suggest that we collect data about visitors, which we do not. If we ever add a tool that needs your consent, the banner will return together with a description of that tool on this page.

What counts as a cookie

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep, often to recognize you on a later visit. Local storage and session storage do a similar job inside the browser. We use none of these. The only things stored on your device when you visit are ordinary copies of our pages, pictures and the downloaded fonts, which your browser keeps in its cache so the pages load faster next time. You can clear the cache in your browser settings whenever you wish.

Browser extensions and other tools

Extensions you have installed, such as ad blockers, translation tools or password managers, can add their own cookies or scripts to any page you view. They act on your instructions, not ours, and they are outside the scope of this policy. The same is true of anything stored by an app that opens our links inside its own browser.

Managing cookies in your browser

Because we set none, there is nothing of ours to delete. If you want to limit what other companies can store, every major browser lets you block or clear cookies and site data. The usual place to look is the privacy or site-settings area of the menu:

Blocking requests to Google's font servers will not stop the site from working; the text simply appears in a fallback typeface.

Questions

If something on this page does not match what you see in your browser, please tell us and we will correct it.
