Cookies and Similar Technologies
Stoney Creek Farm may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and understand how visitors interact with the site.
Cookies are small files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Depending on how the website is configured, cookies may help remember preferences, maintain functionality, measure website traffic, or support other website features.
Some cookies may be provided by third-party services used on the website.
You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features operate.
Analytics and Website Performance
Stoney Creek Farm may use analytics or similar tools to understand general website traffic and visitor behaviour.
Analytics information can help us identify which pages receive attention, understand general usage patterns, identify technical issues, and improve the overall website experience.
Depending on the analytics services actually installed on the website, information may be processed by third-party providers in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
We recommend checking the actual services used by the website and their current privacy documentation.
Third-Party Services
Stoney Creek Farm may use third-party providers for services such as website hosting, analytics, security, forms, email communications, advertising, embedded content, or other technical functions.
These providers may process certain information as necessary to provide their services.
Third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Stoney Creek Farm does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties and encourages visitors to review the relevant policies when interacting with external services.
Advertising and Marketing
If advertising is displayed on Stoney Creek Farm, advertising providers may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, or personalise advertisements, depending on the services and settings implemented on the website.
Advertising practices can vary between providers and may change over time.
Where required, appropriate consent or privacy controls should be implemented based on the website’s audience, location, advertising services, and applicable laws.
External Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, agricultural organisations, resources, retailers, services, or other external platforms.
When you follow an external link, you leave the Stoney Creek Farm website. Those websites operate independently and may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party website before providing personal information.
How We Protect Information
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled through Stoney Creek Farm. These measures may include appropriate website security practices, access controls, software updates, secure hosting arrangements, and other safeguards appropriate to the website’s operation.
However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through public or general-purpose website forms.
How Long Information Is Retained
The length of time information is retained depends on why it was collected.
For example, correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, maintain appropriate records, resolve issues, or meet legal obligations.
Technical and analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention periods established by the relevant service providers.
We aim to avoid retaining personal information longer than reasonably necessary for its intended purpose, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

Privacy rights vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to legal exceptions.
