Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. You are welcome to visit Fabelane and read through the site without handing over any personal details at all. We do not gather identifying information such as names, postal addresses, or email addresses unless you supply it yourself and consent to the purposes for which we would use it.
What we collect, and why
Details you give us directly. Some personal details reach us because you choose to send them a name or an email address, for instance. This typically happens when you post a comment, sign up for a newsletter, or fill in a contact form.
Details that reach us through other services. Information about you may also come to us second-hand. Comment sections on the site allow you to sign in through Facebook, Instagram, or Google. Where you connect one of those accounts to your profile here, the name, email address, and profile photo attached to it are passed along to us.
Details gathered automatically. Certain data is recorded without any action on your part, covering both you and the device you are browsing on. Visiting the site generates a log entry containing your IP address, your operating system, your browser, the site that referred you, the pages you opened, and the times at which you did so. We may additionally record what you do while you are here which links you click, for example.
Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed on your browser by a website. Data may reach us through them. When your browser permits it, a site or one of its service providers can write a cookie to your device, which later allows that site to recognise your browser and recall particular details. This helps us learn what you tend to prefer, based on how you have used the site before or how you are using it now, so that we can tailor what we offer you. Cookies also feed into the aggregate traffic and interaction figures we review when deciding how to improve the site.
Third parties, advertising networks among them, may set their own cookies, scripts, or web beacons to follow visitors across the site for the purpose of serving ads and related content. That activity runs on their servers, not ours, and is covered by their privacy policies rather than this one.
How your personal information may be used
Information we hold may be applied to any of the following:
- Running and maintaining the website
- Setting up your account, recognising you as a user, and adapting the site to your account
- Sending promotional material such as newsletters every promotional email explains how to stop receiving them
- Sending administrative messages, including confirmations, technical notices, policy updates, and security alerts
- Replying to comments or questions you send us
- Providing support to users
- Monitoring and measuring advertising placed on the site
- Safeguarding the site, and investigating or discouraging illegal or unauthorised activity
Third parties and your personal information
Where you give us clear permission to pass your information to a third party, we may do so.
Beyond that, various parts of this website are run with the help of outside service providers. Whatever personal information they handle is governed by each provider’s own privacy policy, not ours.
At present the site relies on the following third-party provider:
Google Analytics a service that measures how the website is used and reports on things like referring sites and visitor behaviour on our pages. Google Analytics may record your IP address; beyond that, it collects no personal information.
Anonymous data
We occasionally work with anonymous data information that identifies nobody on its own, and nobody even when set alongside data held by others. Data of this kind may be passed to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other purposes. Analytics figures and information drawn from cookies are typical examples.
Information visible to the public
Leaving a comment on the site makes some information publicly viewable. Your email address is never among it. You may, if you wish, also supply an avatar, a short profile description, and a link to your own website.
Linking a Facebook, Instagram, or Google account is likewise your choice.
What other users can see is your username, your avatar, your profile description, and your website details.
Cookies
Fabelane uses cookies to hold on to visitor preferences, to note which pages a particular user opens, to avoid showing the same banner advertisement to someone over and over, and to shape site content around a visitor’s browser type or other details their browser reports. As described above, cookies may also be set by third-party services such as Google Analytics.
You can block cookies at any point by adjusting your browser settings, and you can keep them permanently blocked. Cookies already stored can likewise be removed whenever you like, through your browser or through other software. Every widely used browser supports this. Bear in mind, though, that switching cookies off may leave parts of the site working imperfectly or not at all.
Affiliate programs
This website may carry out affiliate marketing by including tracking links in its pages. Clicking a link that belongs to an affiliate partnership places a cookie on your browser so that any resulting sales can be attributed for commission purposes.
Fabelane takes part in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising scheme that allows websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Under that program, we publish customised links supplied by Amazon so that referrals to their site can be tracked. Cookies are used to record those visits and assign commission on the sales that follow.
Newsletters
You are welcome to sign up for our newsletter, which may be used for advertising. Newsletters we send can contain tracking pixels; small elements embedded in the email that allow the performance of an online marketing campaign to be assessed. Through these pixels we may be able to tell whether and when an email was opened, and which of its links were clicked. This also lets us shape later newsletters around what appears to interest readers. None of this behavioural information is shared with third parties.
Your rights over your personal information
Opting out. The unsubscribe link in our emails will stop future messages. Alternatively, write to us through the contact email and ask to be taken off the mailing list.

Do note that some information may have to be kept for our records, to finish a transaction, or because the law requires it.

That includes national insurance or social security numbers, details of your race or ethnic background, political views, religious beliefs, health records, criminal history, or trade union membership. Should you send us information of this nature regardless, it will be handled under this Privacy Policy.
Children’s information
We do not knowingly gather personally identifiable information from anyone under 16. A parent or guardian who believes that details of a child under 16 are held in our records should contact us straight away through the contact page, and we will do everything we reasonably can to delete that information promptly.
