Privacy and cookie statement
Hops & Herbs is a personal website with recipes, travel stories, beer and DIY. We collect as little data as possible. Below you can read exactly what happens when you visit the site.

No tracking
We do not use analytics, advertising networks or tracking or marketing cookies. Fonts and icons are hosted on our own server, so a normal visit does not share any data with other parties.
What your browser remembers
Some handy features keep your choices in your own browser's local storage (localStorage). That data never reaches us and you can delete it in your browser settings.
Cookies
The website itself only sets cookies when you log in to the Studio (the editors' area). They are strictly necessary for logging in and securing your session.
External media (only with consent)
Some pages contain videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd.) or maps from Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. We only load them after you agree, via the cookie banner or the button on the video or map. From then on those services may process data such as your IP address and set their own cookies; their own privacy policies apply. You can withdraw your consent at any time via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.
Comments
When you post a comment we store the name you enter and your comment and show them with the article. We do not ask for your e-mail address. If you want a comment removed, e-mail us.
Server logs
Like any website, our web server records technical request data (such as IP address, time and requested page) to keep the site secure and working. These logs are not shared and are deleted automatically after 14 days.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data and to object. Contact us at info@hopsherbs.com. You can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
