1. Who we are
My Zodiac Stone ("we", "our", or "us") operates myzodiacstone.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit the Site.
2. What information we collect
We collect a small amount of anonymous information to understand how the Site is used. We do not require accounts, names, emails, or any personal information to use the Site.
2.1 Automatic visitor analytics
We use two analytics services:
- Vercel Web Analytics — cookieless, privacy-friendly. Collects anonymous, aggregated metrics: page views, country, device type, and referrer. No IP addresses, no cookies, no personal data. Active for all visitors.
- Google Analytics — uses cookies (
_ga,_gid) to understand visitor behaviour in more depth: pages viewed, session duration, audience demographics. Active only after you accept via the cookie banner. IP anonymisation is enabled.
2.2 Local storage on your device
Interactive features (Yes or No Oracle, Birthstone Finder) save your last few questions or selections in your browser's localStorage. This data stays only on your device and is never sent to us. You can clear it any time via your browser settings.
3. Cookies
The Site uses two categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary technical cookies set by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and load balancing. These are exempt from consent under GDPR and ePrivacy.
- Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, only after you accept them. You can reject them and continue using the Site normally.
You can change your mind any time by clearing your browser data — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
4. How we use the information
- Understand which articles, oracles, and crystals are most popular
- Improve content and user experience
- Diagnose technical issues
- Detect and prevent abuse
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with marketers or data brokers.
5. Third-party services
- Vercel (hosting and Vercel Analytics) — Vercel Privacy Policy
- Google Analytics (only if you accept) — Google Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts (font delivery, no tracking cookies)
6. Your rights
Depending on your location (GDPR, CCPA, UK GDPR), you may have the following rights:
- Withdraw consent for analytics at any time — clear your browser cookies and you will see the banner again
- Access data we hold about you — we hold none beyond what Vercel and Google Analytics show in aggregate
- Deletion — you can clear your localStorage in your browser at any time
- Object to processing — simply reject analytics in the banner
