Privacy.

This page says what Channing Daughters Winery collects through this website, why, where it goes, and how to ask us about it. It is written to be read, not skimmed past.

What we collect, and when

We collect information in two ways: when you give it to us in a form, and through analytics that measures how the site is used.

Forms

There are five forms on this site. The first four below each store what you type, the date and time, the page it came from, and your browser’s user-agent string; the fifth, sharing a tasting, is described under Your tasting companion.

• Private events inquiry (/privateevents). Two steps. When you press Continue on the first step, your name, email, phone (if given) and event type are saved right away so we can follow up even if you do not finish. The second step adds your answers about the event. Both are held together under one record.
• General contact (/contact-us). Your name, email, phone (if given), what the message is about, and the message.
• Donation request (/donation-request). The organization, its town, your name and contact details, the date needed, what is being asked for and why. We note whether the town is within roughly twenty miles of the winery, because that is the first thing we look at when deciding.
• Newsletter signup. Your email address, and a first and last name if you give them.
• Sharing a tasting (/taste). Optional; see Your tasting companion for what it stores and for how long.

Where form submissions go

• Cloudflare D1 — a database run by Cloudflare, Inc. on our behalf. Every submission is written here first. This is the record we rely on.
• Notion — the workspace where the winery’s team reads and answers inquiries, contact messages and donation requests. Each submission is copied there after it is saved.
• MailChimp (Intuit Inc.) — only newsletter signups, and only so that we can send the newsletter. MailChimp will email you to confirm before you are added to the list. Every newsletter carries an unsubscribe link.

We do not sell your information. What reaches an advertising service is described under Advertising, and you can turn it off.

Spam protection

To keep automated junk out of the inbox, each form carries a hidden field that a person never sees and a timestamp of when the page was drawn. Submissions that fill the hidden field or arrive implausibly fast are discarded without being stored. The rest are kept, with a note for our team when one looks automated: how long the form took to fill in, the name of the network it was sent from (a home or mobile provider, or a hosting company) and its country as our host sees it, and whether you came straight to the form from an AI assistant. That note is never used to turn anyone away. We also limit how many submissions can come from one connection in a day; to do that we keep a one-way hash of your IP address combined with the date, which cannot be turned back into the address and is different every day. The IP address itself is not stored.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used — which pages are read, which links to the wine shop and to our reservations partner are followed, and whether the forms are completed. It is loaded through Cloudflare Zaraz, which runs the tag from Cloudflare’s network rather than from a script on the page. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to tell one visit from another. The data is processed by Google LLC under its own terms.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views and measures how fast pages load without setting any cookie or identifying you.

Reservations are made on Tock and purchases on our wine shop; both are separate sites with their own privacy policies. Tock reports a completed booking back to the same Google Analytics property, so we can see that a visit led to a reservation.

How you found us

When you arrive, the site notes in your browser how you got here: the campaign tags in the link you followed (for example, that it came from our newsletter), the click identifier an ad adds to its link, the name of the site that sent you (never the page), and the page you landed on. It keeps the first and the most recent of these for 90 days, in your browser’s own storage rather than a cookie. If you send one of the forms, this note goes with it and is stored with your submission, so we can see which of our efforts lead to real conversations. When you follow a link to reserve or buy tickets on Tock, the link carries the same campaign tags, and the ad’s click identifier unless your browser sends Global Privacy Control, so Tock’s reports show which of our efforts lead to reservations. Otherwise it is never shared with anyone except as described under Advertising.

If you send an event inquiry

When you send an event inquiry from the private events or weddings page, the site places one cookie in your browser, named __Host-cd_inq, as soon as the inquiry is saved (on the private events page, that is when you press Continue on the first step). It holds a random code, not your name or email address. For up to 12 months after that, when you come back to this site in the same browser, we note which part of the site you looked at (for example, “Weddings”), the date and time, and the kind of device (for example, “iPhone”), and we keep that with your inquiry. We do not record the full web address, your IP address or anything you type. Our events team uses it to see whether you have come back to read more, so we can follow up at a helpful time. It is kept in our own database at Cloudflare, is not shared with any advertising service, and is not used to follow you on other websites. The cookie expires, and these notes are deleted, 12 months after you send your inquiry, or sooner if you ask us. We do not set this cookie if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, or if you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, and we note nothing while either is true. Clearing this site’s cookies also ends it.

Advertising

We advertise on Google Ads. When you reach the site by clicking one of our ads, Google Ads’ tag — also run through Cloudflare Zaraz — keeps the click identifier in a cookie on this site, and if that visit leads to an inquiry, tells Google that the ad produced one. We may later tell Google Ads that an inquiry became a booked event, identified by the same click identifier or by a scrambled (hashed) copy of the email address you gave us. That is how we learn which ads are worth paying for. We do not use advertising tags to follow you around other sites.

Your privacy choices

This site does not show a cookie banner. Instead, we honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser or an extension sends it, we treat it as your request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your information and of targeted advertising: no advertising tag runs for you, anything you send us is marked so that it is never reported to an advertising service, and the cookie described under If you send an event inquiry is not set. Visit counts in Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics continue. Most browsers can send this signal from their settings, and it applies to every site you visit rather than one banner at a time. You can also ask us by email to opt you out, and you can block or clear cookies and site storage in your browser at any time; the site works without them.

Some browsers can also send a Do Not Track signal. We honor it in two places: the cookie described under If you send an event inquiry is not set and no return visits are noted, and the tasting companion turns off its measurement. Our analytics and advertising tools are not set up to respond to Do Not Track; to turn advertising off, use Global Privacy Control.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google Analytics and Google Ads do not run at all, and a form sent from there is stored without the note of how they found us. Cloudflare Web Analytics is switched off for visitors in the European Union as well.

Your tasting companion

The tasting companion saves favorites, personal notes, bottle lists and tasting history in your browser. You can download or clear them in My wines. Personal notes stay on your device: they are not sent when you share a tasting with us. Previously loaded public menus may be kept on your device for use when the connection drops.

If you choose to share a tasting with us, we store your name (if supplied), email, saved wines, recognized preferences, flight history, visit date and your consent choice privately for 3 years. Sharing a tasting does not subscribe you to marketing. Marketing has a separate, unchecked choice; new subscribers use our email provider’s confirmation process. A tasting submission does not automatically send a recap email.

We measure tasting interactions separately from submitted profiles, without including names, emails, wine lists or preference text in engagement events. Raw engagement records are deleted after 90 days. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track disable this measurement. Essential session cookies protect submissions and expire after one day.

To export or delete a tasting profile you submitted, contact info@channingdaughters.com. We retain a minimal keyed suppression record to prevent deleted or unsubscribed contacts from being re-added through this app. You can unsubscribe from marketing through any marketing email.

How long we keep things

• Form submissions: 3 years, then deleted from our database.
• Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe, plus whatever MailChimp keeps to honor the unsubscribe.
• Analytics data: Google Analytics 4 keeps visit-level data for 14 months, then deletes it.
• How you found us: the note in your browser expires after 90 days; a copy sent with a form is kept with that submission, for 3 years.
• After an event inquiry: the cookie expires, and the notes of which parts of the site you came back to are deleted, 12 months after you send the inquiry.
• Tasting companion: a tasting you share with us is kept for 3 years, then deleted. Anonymous engagement records are deleted after 90 days, and session cookies expire after one day. What the app saves in your browser stays there until you clear it.

Your choices and requests

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to info@channingdaughters.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line, or by post to Channing Daughters Winery, 1927 Scuttlehole Road, Bridgehampton, NY 11932. We will need enough to find your record — usually the email address you used — and we will answer within 30 days.

Newsletter: use the unsubscribe link in any issue, or write to us at the address above.
