This privacy policy applies to northfielddaily.org (“the site”). It describes what information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, and what choices you have.
Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Data
When you visit the site, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and time of access. This information is used to understand how visitors navigate the site and to identify technical issues. It is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Cookies and Local Storage
The site uses a cookie consent banner on the homepage. Your choice (accept or decline) is stored in your browser’s localStorage so the banner does not reappear on subsequent visits. No personal data is transmitted to a server as part of this process.
If you accept cookies, basic analytics cookies may be set to measure traffic patterns. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set. You can clear localStorage and cookies at any time through your browser’s privacy settings.
Contact Form
The contact form on the About page is a frontend-only form. It does not transmit data to any server. No information you enter in the form is stored, processed, or transmitted. The form provides a confirmation message locally in your browser.
How We Use Information
Server log data is used solely for technical administration and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. It is not sold, shared with third parties for commercial purposes, or used to build individual profiles.
Third-Party Content
This site displays images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, a request is made directly to Wikimedia’s servers. Wikimedia’s own privacy policy governs that interaction. The site also links to external government and institutional websites; those sites operate under their own privacy policies.
The site loads the Inter typeface via Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This results in a request to Google’s servers when you visit the site. Google’s privacy policy governs that interaction. No Google advertising or tracking products are used.
Data Retention
Server logs are retained for a limited period for technical purposes and are then deleted. No personal data is retained beyond what is in standard server logs.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Clear your browser’s localStorage and cookies at any time, removing any preference data stored locally
- Use browser privacy tools or extensions to limit data collection by this site and third-party services
- Contact us with questions about this privacy policy using the form on the About page

Changes to This Policy
