This Privacy Policy explains how The Glow Council ("we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit theglowcouncil.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to this policy.
Who we are
The Glow Council is an independent editorial site that reviews and recommends skincare products. We participate in third-party affiliate programs and networks, and may earn commissions when you buy through our links. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you submit.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, we and our service providers automatically collect technical and usage data such as your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, links clicked, referring URLs, and the date/time of your visit. This is gathered through cookies and similar tracking technologies (see below).
Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand traffic, and measure and improve our advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where shown, through our cookie banner.
Meta (Facebook) Pixel and third-party advertising
We use the Meta Pixel and similar tools from advertising partners. These technologies allow Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and other third parties to use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect or receive information from this Site and elsewhere on the internet, and to use that information to measure the effectiveness of advertising, to provide ad targeting, and to deliver ads about our content and products on platforms including Facebook and Instagram.
To learn more about how Meta uses this data and the choices available to you, see Meta's data policy and your ad preferences within your Facebook/Instagram account. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info).
How we use information

- Advertising and analytics partners (e.g., Meta) as described above.
- Affiliate networks (such as Awin, CJ, or Impact) which may set their own cookies when you click an affiliate link; their use of data is governed by their own policies.
- Authorities where required by law.

You can unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message. Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, and to opt out of certain sharing.
