Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 July 2026
This page explains how Southern Covers collects and uses information, and how advertising, analytics, and cookies work on this site. This is a personal, non-commercial collection website, and this policy is intentionally simple, covering exactly what applies here rather than reading like a template for a much larger business.
Information we collect
Browsing this site does not require creating an account or providing any personal information. Standard technical information (such as your browser type, general location, and pages visited) may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, as described below.
Cookies and advertising
This site uses, or intends to use, Google AdSense to display advertising. As part of this:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or by visiting aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for interest-based advertising generally.
You can also control cookies directly through your browser's settings, including blocking or deleting them, though this may affect how some parts of the site display ads.
Website analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand overall traffic, such as how many people visit and which pages are popular. Google Analytics uses cookies to do this. No personally identifying information is collected as part of this, only general, aggregated usage patterns. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Other third-party services
The site uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot-protection service, on the admin login page and on the contact form below, to help prevent automated abuse. This does not track regular browsing of the public pages.
Google's own privacy policy
For more detail on how Google collects and processes data across its advertising and analytics products, see Google's Privacy Policy.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated occasionally, for example if advertising, analytics, or other third-party services change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
