Like most websites, we use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about how visitors use our Site, to remember preferences, and to serve relevant advertising.
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.
We use the information we collect for purposes including:
This Site displays advertising served by third-party advertising companies, including Google and its advertising partners, and may participate in advertising programs operated by companies such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, and Raptive (formerly AdThrive). These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Google is one of a third-party vendor on our site. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to homelovelymag.com.au and other sites on the internet. However, visitors may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
Some of the advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners are listed below. Each of our advertising partners has their own Privacy Policy for their policies on user data. For easier access, we have hyperlinked to their Privacy Policies below.
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.
For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.
Our advertising partners, and companies working on their behalf, use technology to collect information about your use of this Site and other websites over time, in order to serve you advertisements that may be relevant to your interests. This is sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “personalised advertising.” This may involve the use of first-party and third-party cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies.
We use Google Analytics to help understand how visitors engage with the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data by visiting “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps”

This Site may contain affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partnerships may include, among others, the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Any product recommendations are based on genuine editorial judgment, and affiliate relationships do not influence our opinions.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent UK legislation, including the right to:
Where consent is required for cookies or personalised advertising, we rely on a consent management mechanism to obtain that consent before non-essential cookies are set.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the right to:
Our advertising partners may be considered to “share” personal information (such as cookie identifiers) with third parties for interest-based advertising purposes under this law. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid method for California residents to opt out of this sharing where our tools detect that signal. You may also submit a request by contacting us using the details below.
As homelovelymag.com.au is operated for Australian readers, we aim to handle personal information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including by being transparent about what we collect, using information only for the purposes disclosed in this policy, and taking reasonable steps to keep personal information secure. Note that some third-party advertising and analytics vendors named in this policy are based overseas, and by using the Site you acknowledge that your information may be processed outside Australia as described in this policy.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no accepted industry standard for how to respond to this signal, our Site does not currently alter its data collection in response to a general Do Not Track browser setting. Where legally required, we do respond to the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as described in Section 7.2 above.
This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can promptly remove it.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our advertising partners, or applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
