Privacy Policy — Warm & Willow

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how warmandwillow.org ("the site") handles information in connection with visits to its pages. The site is a static informational resource. It does not operate user accounts, collect personal information for marketing purposes, or sell data to third parties.

Information collected automatically

When you visit pages on this site, standard web server logs may record the following information:

IP address of the requesting device
Date and time of the request
URL of the page requested
HTTP status code of the response
Browser user-agent string (browser type and version)
Referring URL, if the visit originated from a link on another site

This information is used solely for technical operation of the site — diagnosing server errors, understanding traffic patterns, and preventing abuse. Server logs are not combined with other data sources to identify individual visitors.

Cookies and local storage

This site uses browser localStorage to store one item: your response to the cookie consent banner displayed on the main page. This item records whether you selected "Accept" or "Reject" and is used to prevent the banner from appearing again on subsequent visits. This data is stored only in your browser and is not transmitted to any server.

No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies are used on this site.

Cookie consent

On your first visit to the main page, a banner is displayed requesting your acknowledgment of cookie use. You may accept or reject. Your choice is saved in localStorage. You may clear this preference at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

Contact form

The contact form on the About page collects name, email address, optional phone number, subject, and message text. This form operates as a client-side simulation only — no data is transmitted to any server. Form submissions are not stored, recorded, or sent to any email address. The form displays a confirmation message after submission to indicate the form functioned correctly.

If you wish to contact this site, the form is provided for interface demonstration purposes only. Actual correspondence may be conducted through the email address published on this page, if one is listed.

External links

This site contains links to external websites operated by third parties, including government agencies (Natural Resources Canada, National Research Council Canada) and independent building science organizations. These sites have their own privacy policies. This site has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

External links open in a new tab and are identified with target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" attributes. Clicking an external link will transmit your IP address and browser information to the destination site in the normal course of an HTTP request.

Images

Images displayed on this site are served directly from Wikimedia Commons infrastructure (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a request is sent to Wikimedia's servers. Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy governs that request. This site does not proxy or cache Wikimedia images.

Children's privacy

This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. The content is informational and does not target minors.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the current version was published. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Disclaimer

The content on warmandwillow.org is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute engineering advice, a certified energy assessment, or legal guidance. Building codes and program eligibility requirements vary by province, municipality, and time. Verify all code requirements with the local authority having jurisdiction before undertaking construction work.
