Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Milestone Ledger handles information in connection with visits to oakbrookjournal.org. It is written plainly, without unnecessary legal complexity.

What We Collect

This site does not collect personal data through registration, accounts, or user profiles. There is no login system, no membership, and no stored user data.

The contact form accepts a name, email address, subject, and message. These are submitted through the form interface. This site does not currently forward messages to an external server or store them in a database. The contact form is a frontend interface only.

Browser Storage

We use browser localStorage to save your cookie preference — specifically, whether you accepted or rejected the cookie notice. This is a single key stored locally on your device. It does not leave your browser and is not transmitted to any server.

No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies are placed by this site. See our Cookie Policy for the complete list of what is stored.

Analytics and Tracking

Milestone Ledger does not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or behavioral analytics tools. No third-party tracking scripts are loaded on this site.

Third-Party Content

Editorial images may be sourced from Wikimedia Commons under open licences. These images are served directly from Wikimedia infrastructure. Visiting this site may result in a browser request to Wikimedia servers to load those images. Wikimedia's own privacy policy governs any data their servers receive from that request.

Server Logs

As with any website, the hosting server may retain standard access logs that include IP addresses, browser types, and page requests. These logs are retained for operational security purposes and are not used to identify individual visitors for marketing purposes.

Children

This site does not knowingly collect information from or direct content at individuals under the age of 18.
