Information We Receive Automatically

When you visit cgree.com, our server records routine technical details: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the referring page, and the pages you view. This data helps us diagnose technical issues, protect against misuse, and understand general usage patterns. We do not link this information to any individual person unless required by law or to investigate a security incident.

Information You Choose to Send

If you contact us via the email address shown on the site, we receive your message and any personal details you include. We use that information solely to respond to your inquiry and then delete it once the matter is resolved, unless we are required to retain it for legitimate legal or archival purposes. We do not sell or share your message with third parties.

Site Preferences and Cookies

We use small data files called cookies to remember your preferences—for example, whether you have dismissed a notice or chosen a particular display setting. These are strictly functional. Where enabled, we also use analytics cookies from a third-party service to count visits and see which pages are most popular; these cookies collect anonymised data only. If advertising is displayed on the site, advertising networks may place cookies to show you relevant offers and to measure performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

Analytics and Advertising

We may use a web analytics service to collect aggregated, non-identifying statistics about site usage. The service provider has access to the data only for this purpose and is contractually prohibited from using it for its own benefit. Where Google advertising services are displayed, Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of Google’s personalised advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control the cookies set by third-party ad networks.

Web Beacons

Pages or emails may include tiny, invisible images called web beacons (or pixel tags) to confirm that a page was viewed or an email was opened. These are used only for operational purposes, such as measuring the effectiveness of communications. We do not use beacons to collect personal information.

How We Use Your Data

We process personal data only for the following purposes: (a) to operate and improve the site; (b) to respond to your communications; (c) to detect and prevent fraud or abuse; (d) to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal information to third parties. We may share data with service providers who help us run the site (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery) and who agree to keep it confidential.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain server logs for a limited period needed for operational analysis and security, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Cookies and analytics data are retained according to the service provider’s standard policies. Messages you send us are kept only as long as necessary to address your request.

Your Choices and Rights

You have the right to know what personal data we hold about you, to request a copy, to ask that it be corrected or deleted, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at editor@cgree.com. We will respond within the time frame required by applicable law. You may also set your browser to refuse cookies, or use ad-blocking tools. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we can delete it.

Our catalogue contains links to external websites, including those of publishers, libraries, and other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
