The publisher dashboard uses a secure session cookie. Reader pages do not require you to share personal information.

Reader polls

Polls save one vote per browser session using a keyed identifier. You may change your answer while voting is open. These are informal polls; using another browser or clearing browser data can permit another vote. No email is required. Aggregate results are public after voting or closing.

Inquiries & article views

Contact and advertising inquiries are saved privately for Leaf to review and may be forwarded to our configured email mailbox. We use contact details to respond, not for marketing. Article view tracking stores keyed hashes of IP addresses and browser information temporarily to limit repeat counts. View totals are approximate, not a count of unique people. Ask through Contact Leaf about correction or deletion of your submitted information.

Comments

Comments require a name and email address and are reviewed before publication. Your name and approved comment are public; your email remains private and is used for moderation, not marketing. We store keyed hashes of email addresses and IP addresses to limit abuse and manage blocks. You may request removal through an article comment, which Leaf can handle privately during moderation.

Sharing and QR codes

QR codes are generated on your device. Sharing opens the service you choose. Leaf does not collect your contacts.

Google advertising

Leaf uses Google AdSense to support this publication. Google and its partners may use cookies and process information to serve and measure advertisements. Where applicable, consent choices are handled through Google’s privacy messages. You can manage ad personalization in Google’s Ads Settings.
