Privacy Policy

Discover Waxhaw is an editorial guide. We collect the minimum data necessary to understand which guides readers find useful and to keep the site reliable. We do not sell data, we do not run third-party advertising trackers, and we do not build personal profiles.

Information we collect

• Pageviews. When you visit a page we record the path, the referring URL, and a timestamp. We do not store IP addresses, cookies, or device identifiers alongside this beacon.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider may keep short-lived request logs (typically a few days) for security and abuse prevention.

Cookies

We use a single first-party cookie / localStorage key nameddw-consentto remember whether you have accepted or declined analytics. No third-party cookies are set by this site. See our cookie policy for the full list.

Analytics consent

The pageview beacon described above does not run until you accept analytics in the consent banner. If you decline, no pageview is sent for your session. You can change your choice at any time from the footer.

Third-party links

Many of our guides link out to restaurants, schools, communities, and businesses. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy applies.

Your choices

Clear your browser's site data for Discover Waxhaw to reset your consent state. To opt out of analytics permanently, decline the banner — your choice is stored locally and respected on every visit.

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be reflected in the "Updated" date above and surfaced on the home page.
