Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 26, 2026. Georgia Burn Bans (“this site,” “we”) is an independent reference site for Georgia county burn ban status. This policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Data We Collect

We use Google Analytics (GA4) and Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand site traffic and improve content. These services may set cookies and collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring pages. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you by name.

Some pages remember recently viewed counties using your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

We do not currently operate any account registration, comment system, or active email subscription. If an email alert feature is added in the future, this policy will be updated before that feature collects any data.

Cookies and Advertising

This site may display advertising served by Google and its partners. Google and third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. This is sometimes called interest-based or personalized advertising.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

How We Use Data

Aggregated analytics data helps us understand which counties and topics readers care about, identify pages that need clearer information, and monitor whether the site is reliably reaching Georgia residents who need burn ban information. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site adds features such as email alerts or advertising. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
