Welcome to Love-Quotes.org ("we", "our", or "us"). We are deeply committed to protecting your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect when you visit our website (https://love-quotes.org), how we use and safeguard that information, and the choices and rights available to you under applicable data protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide sensitive personal information to read, browse, or copy quotes from our publication.

A. Log Files and Standard Web Analytics

Like most modern websites, our hosting servers (including Hostinger and LiteSpeed web servers) automatically log standard technical information when you access our pages. This includes:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized where required by law)
• Browser type, version, and language preferences
• Operating system and device screen resolution
• Referring URLs, exit pages, and timestamp of visits
• Pages viewed and duration spent on each page

This data is used solely to maintain server security, analyze aggregate traffic trends, and optimize website performance. It is never linked to personally identifiable information.

B. Browser Local Storage (Offline Favorites)

Love-Quotes.org features an interactive "Save to Favorites" drawer. When you click the heart icon on any quote, your saved quotes are stored strictly within your own web browser's local storage (localStorage). This information never leaves your device, is never transmitted to our servers, and is never shared with third parties. You can clear your saved quotes at any time by clearing your browser storage or clicking "Clear All" in the favorites drawer.
