This notice explains how information is handled when you use Steep & Origin, an editorial site about tea and teaware.
Browsing the site
When you open a page, your browser sends technical information needed to deliver it, such as your IP address, the requested URL and browser information. Server logs may contain technical request and error information. This notice does not promise that browsing is anonymous or that no technical data is processed.
Favorites, comparisons and search
Favorites and comparison selections are saved in your browser’s local storage. These features do not require a reader account. Saved selections can remain between visits until you remove them or clear this site’s browser data; your browser may also clear them.
Selected product identifiers are sent to the site when it retrieves product information. Comparison identifiers may appear in the page address. Search terms are sent to the site when you search. Avoid entering personal or confidential information in search fields.
Cookies and reader accounts
Public account registration is disabled. WordPress uses cookies for authorized administrator sign-in. No newsletter signup, contact form or audience analytics service is currently enabled.
External fonts and interface libraries
The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, icons through cdnjs, and certain interface libraries through jsDelivr. Your browser contacts these providers to request their files, which sends technical information such as your IP address and browser details. Blocking these requests may change how the site looks or behaves.
Affiliate links and purchases
Some product links use Awin referral tracking, including shortened links on tidd.ly. Clicking one sends you through an external service to TeaVivre. Awin and the merchant may use cookies or other identifiers and process referral or purchase information to attribute a commission. No Awin tracking script is installed on this site.
Purchases, payment information, delivery details and merchant accounts are handled by the retailer. See Awin’s privacy policy, the retailer’s privacy information and our Affiliate Disclosure for more context.
Your choices
You can remove saved favorites and comparisons or clear this site’s data through your browser settings. You can also manage cookies and block external resources in your browser. These actions may affect saved preferences or site functionality; they do not erase records already held by external services.
This site does not currently provide a public email address or a message form. There is no on-site message channel for privacy requests. For information handled by an external provider or retailer, use that service’s privacy contact options.
Scope of this notice
