Information on this site

Porchleaf has no contact form, email signup or advertising tag. Optional Google Analytics measurement is described below. Search, filters and the soil calculator run in your browser. Calculator measurements and filter choices are not submitted. Search terms appear in the page address; if you reload or share that address, those terms can be included in hosting requests and logs.

Hosting and technical data

The hosting provider processes requests needed to deliver the site, which may include IP addresses, browser information and security logs. Access controls may use provider-managed authentication. We do not claim that the hosting service collects no information. See the provider’s privacy policy for its practices.

Downloads and external websites

PDF downloads do not require an email address. Linked university and public-agency sites operate under their own policies. Their content is not embedded here.

Optional audience measurement

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics measures page views and visit activity using identifiers stored in _ga cookies. We use these reports to understand which gardening pages readers use. We load the Google tag only after acceptance. Rejecting analytics keeps that tag off. Advertising signals and ad personalization are disabled. We remove search parameters and fragments from the page address supplied to Analytics.

Our Analytics cookies expire after 180 days without extending that expiry on each visit. Your acceptance or rejection is stored on this device for 180 days. Use Analytics preferences in the footer to change your choice. Rejecting after acceptance disables future measurement and removes the Analytics cookies we can access; it does not erase data already received by Google.

Consent is the basis for this optional measurement. Google processes the measurement data, which may involve processing outside your country. See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from partner sites. Contact us at the email above about your privacy rights or to withdraw consent; you may also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, AEPD.
