This Privacy Policy explains how Shake the Basket ("we", "us") at https://shakethebasket.com collects, uses and shares information when you visit our website. By using the site you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Information you give us: your email address if you sign up for our newsletter, and anything you send us by email.
- Information collected automatically: like most websites, we and our partners collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, referring site and the date and time of your visit, using cookies and similar technologies.
How we use information
- To run, maintain and improve the website.
- To send our newsletter, only if you subscribed. We store your email (and the page and social network you signed up from) only to send the newsletter. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your email at any time by writing to [email protected].
- To answer messages you send through our contact form. We keep them only as long as needed to reply.
- To understand how visitors use the site. We use Google Analytics to measure visits, pages viewed and which tools are used; it collects data such as your device, approximate location and pages visited. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- To count visits without cookies. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which measures page views and performance without cookies, without fingerprinting and without tracking you across sites. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- To show advertising that keeps the site free.

These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
