This page explains what information is collected when you visit Tea Atlas, and how it is used.
What we collect directly
Tea Atlas does not collect personal information directly. There are no forms, no logins, no newsletter signups.
Third-party services
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your interests. These cookies may track your activity across multiple websites. You can learn more about Google's advertising practices and opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
This site also uses Google Analytics to understand how readers use the site. Analytics cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors, which pages they visit, and which sites referred them.
Cookies
The only cookie Tea Atlas itself uses is a small technical preference — whether you have chosen the light or dark theme. This is stored locally in your browser and is not sent to any server.
Cookies from Google (for advertising and analytics) are handled by Google and are subject to Google's privacy policy.
Your rights
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If you do, the theme preference will not be remembered between visits, but the site will otherwise work normally.
You can control Google's personalization at the Google Ads Settings page linked above. You can use browser extensions or tools like Ghostery, Privacy Badger, or uBlock Origin to block third-party tracking entirely.
