Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
CSS Magazine (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates cssmagazine.com (the “Site”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you provide to us directly, and information collected automatically when you use the Site.
Information you provide. When you contact us through our contact form or by email, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a story pitch, or leave a comment, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. Providing this information is voluntary, but some features of the Site may not be available without it.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URLs, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. This information is collected through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help the Site function and help us understand how it is used. We use essential cookies (required for basic site functionality), analytics cookies (to measure traffic and improve our content), and, where applicable, advertising cookies (to deliver and measure ads). You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the Site. Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Analytics
We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site. These services collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the Site, and general geographic location, using cookies and similar technologies. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising and Third Parties
We may work with third-party advertising networks and partners that display ads on the Site. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity in order to show you relevant advertising. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or practices, and their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies. We may also use trusted service providers — for hosting, email delivery, and analytics — who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards. We do not sell your personal information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Site; to respond to your inquiries and deliver newsletters you request; to analyze usage and improve our content; to detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues; and to comply with legal obligations.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information; however, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you; to object to or restrict certain processing; and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Residents of certain U.S. states, including California, may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights. You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link included in every email. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@cssmagazine.com.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
