Introduction
Welcome to Drop of Odor. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in a clear and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect from you, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
This policy applies to our website: www.dropofodor.com.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.dropofodor.com. We are an educational resource dedicated to the science and art of perfumery.
Data We Collect (And Why)
We believe in collecting only the data that is necessary to operate our website and provide a good user experience.
Data You Provide Directly
We do not have user accounts, contact forms, or newsletter subscriptions. The only way you provide data directly is if you choose to send us an email at the address listed on our “Contact” page. We will only use that information to respond to your inquiry.
Data We Collect Automatically (Technical Data)
When you browse our site, we automatically collect the following technical information:
- Cookies: These are small text files stored on your device. We use them for essential functions and analytics.
- Functional Cookies: We use cookies from Polylang to remember your language preference (English or Turkish) so you do not have to select it on every visit.
- Performance Cookies: We use cookies from Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (e.g., which pages are popular, how long visitors stay). This helps us improve our content. All this data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Cache Cookies: We use LiteSpeed Cache, which may store a cookie to help deliver the site faster, but it does not collect personal information.
- Analytics (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous data about site traffic. This includes your IP address (which is anonymized), browser type, and the pages you view. We use this information only to analyze our site’s performance and improve our content. We do not (and cannot) use this data to personally identify you.
- Embedded Content from Other Websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Affiliate Link Disclosure
Drop of Odor is a reader-supported site. Some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is a common practice that helps us fund the research and writing for this site.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. Our website uses SSL (HTTPS) to encrypt all data transferred between your browser and our server. However, no electronic transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
How Long We Retain Your Data
We retain anonymous analytics data (from Google Analytics) indefinitely to help us understand long-term traffic trends.
Your Data Rights
Since we do not collect personally identifiable information through user accounts or forms, your primary right is to control the cookies on your device. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser’s settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.”
