your analytics choice.

Optional Google Analytics helps us understand visits, content interest, and links to email-update information. Google Tag Manager loads only after you choose “allow analytics.” You can browse without analytics and change your choice through “analytics choices” in the footer.

We remember only that preference in your browser’s local storage when available. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics can use first-party cookies and process browser/device information, approximate location, page views, scroll depth, and selected link actions. We do not enable advertising personalization or Google Signals in this site integration.

links with context.

A link from social media may include labels identifying the social platform, post, campaign, character, or link location. Supported labels stay in links as you browse this site so they can describe that journey. With analytics allowed, those labels and the website content you view may be sent to Google Analytics. We remove unsupported query parameters, URL fragments and referrer paths from the event context supplied by this site. Please do not put personal information in campaign links.

hosting.

Cloudflare serves this website and may process normal request information, including IP addresses, to deliver pages and protect the service. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Google’s processing is described in Google’s privacy policy.

email updates.

Digital Spirit Media operates Dana Rae’s updates list using GoHighLevel / LeadConnector. When you request updates, we collect your email address, selected content interest, email permission and its wording/version, request and confirmation times, and supported social/content/link labels. Cloudflare stores a private request record and GoHighLevel stores the contact and list status. The confirmation link expires after 24 hours. Opening it does not subscribe you: you must confirm on the website.

Email permission is separate from optional analytics. You can unsubscribe through links in update emails or contact office@danaraekowalski.com to ask about, correct or remove your signup information. Unconfirmed website requests are removed after 90 days; confirmed permission records are kept while needed to operate the list and honor your choices. GoHighLevel contact records follow the list’s account retention and removal process.

If you allow analytics and Google supplies an existing anonymous client/session identifier, we may send one confirmed-signup event from our server to Google Analytics, with the supported content/link labels. No email address, form contents, GHL contact ID or confirmation token is sent to Google Analytics. If analytics is declined or unavailable, the email signup can still work. Server sending does not bypass that choice.

To limit abusive requests, our server uses a short-lived hashed request-IP bucket; these counters expire within two hours and are removed by daily cleanup. Normal hosting request information may still be processed by Cloudflare.
