1. Information We Collect

Email address — only if you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter. Subscribing is entirely optional.

Usage data — pages visited, time on site, referring URL, browser type, and device type. This is collected automatically and anonymously via Google Analytics.

Cookies — small files stored in your browser that help the site remember your preferences (e.g. cookie consent choice). See Section 4 for details.

2. Newsletter (MailerLite)

The newsletter subscription form is powered by MailerLite. When you subscribe, your email address is stored in MailerLite's systems and governed by their Privacy Policy.

Your email is used exclusively to send the Jennifer Wells reader newsletter — new release announcements, cover reveals, behind-the-scenes content, and occasional author updates. Your email is never shared with, sold to, or rented to any third party.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any newsletter email, or by contacting us directly.

3. Analytics (Google Analytics)

This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data and may set cookies in your browser. No personally identifiable information is collected through Google Analytics.

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Cookies

This site uses two types of cookies:

• Functional cookies — used to remember your cookie consent choice. These are strictly necessary and do not track you.
• Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics (if you accept cookies) to collect anonymous usage data.
• Advertising cookies — set by Meta Pixel (if you accept cookies) to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

You can decline non-essential cookies when the cookie banner appears. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external websites — including Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, Instagram, and others. These sites have their own privacy policies, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

• Access the personal data held about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
