  • operating system;
  • referring website or traffic source;
  • pages viewed;

Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice or obtain consent before using personal information for materially different purposes.


Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Clever Everyday uses or may use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, web beacons, and other identifiers.

These technologies may help us:

  • keep the website functioning properly;
  • remember visitor preferences;
  • understand website traffic and reader behavior;
  • measure content and website performance;
  • improve the user experience;
  • support security and fraud prevention;
  • recognize affiliate referrals and qualifying purchases; and
  • support advertising and personalization where permitted.

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third-party services that operate on or interact with our website.

You can usually manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Where available, you can also manage your choices through the cookie preference tool provided on our website. When required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices or obtain consent before using certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how certain parts of the website function.


Analytics, Advertising, and Affiliate Tracking

We use analytics services to understand website traffic, performance, traffic sources, and how readers interact with our content.

These services may collect information such as device details, IP address, pages visited, referring sources, and interactions with the website.

The Clever Everyday may also display advertising or work with advertising partners. Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising performance, understand audiences, limit repeated advertisements, or provide more relevant advertising where permitted by law.

The Clever Everyday also participates in affiliate marketing programs.

When you click certain product, retailer, or service links, the retailer, affiliate network, or other partner may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to recognize that the referral came from The Clever Everyday and determine whether a qualifying purchase or other action occurred.

Affiliate tracking is generally used to attribute referrals and qualifying actions so that commissions can be properly recorded. We do not receive your payment card details through affiliate tracking cookies. Depending on the retailer or affiliate partner, third parties may process technical identifiers or other information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

For more information about our affiliate relationships, please see our Affiliate Disclosure.

These third parties control their own data practices, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies when you visit their websites.


Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

We use or may use third-party companies and service providers to help operate, maintain, secure, and improve The Clever Everyday.

These services may include:

  • website hosting and security;
  • analytics and performance measurement;
  • email delivery and newsletters;
  • contact forms and spam prevention;
  • affiliate tracking;
  • advertising services;
  • website functionality and performance tools; and
  • embedded videos, images, social media content, or other interactive features.

Some forms on The Clever Everyday use Cloudflare Turnstile to help detect and prevent spam, automated abuse, and other malicious activity. Turnstile may process technical and interaction information about the visitor or browser environment for these security purposes.

These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies, service terms, and applicable legal obligations.

Our articles may also contain embedded content from other websites. Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party services and websites you choose to interact with.


How We May Share Information

We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and improve The Clever Everyday.

We may also disclose information:

  • when you direct us or consent to the disclosure;
  • when required by applicable law, legal process, or government request;
  • to investigate fraud, misuse, or security concerns;
  • to protect our rights, property, users, or others; or
  • in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale, restructuring, or transfer of all or part of the website or business.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

However, certain advertising, analytics, or online tracking activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws even when no direct monetary payment is involved.

Where those laws apply, we will provide the rights and choices required by applicable law.


Email Communications

If you choose to subscribe to emails from The Clever Everyday, we may use the information you provide to send newsletters, website updates, helpful ideas, product recommendations, or other content you requested.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.

We may still respond to messages you send us or provide important non-promotional communications when reasonably necessary.


Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including legitimate business, security, recordkeeping, and legal purposes.

The length of time we retain information may vary depending on the type of information, why it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
