Our Approach to Privacy
MileHighCannabis.org is an educational site about cannabis in Denver. We believe cannabis-curious visitors deserve the same privacy protections as any other website visitor — arguably more, given the federal-employer footprint at Denver Federal Center, Buckley Space Force Base, the U.S. Mint, the Federal Reserve Bank Denver Branch, NREL, and the federal-workplace drug-testing reality that affects so much of the local workforce.
What We Collect
Cookies (One)
We set a single cookie (milehighcannabis_age_verified) when you confirm you are 21 or older. This cookie lasts 30 days and prevents the age gate from appearing on every visit. That’s it.
We also set a cookie consent acknowledgment cookie (milehighcannabis_cookie_consent) when you dismiss the cookie notice. This lasts one year.
Server Logs
Like all websites, our web server automatically logs basic request information (IP address, page visited, browser type, timestamp). These logs are used solely for security monitoring and are not shared with third parties.
What We Don’t Do
- We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics
- We do not use tracking pixels or retargeting
- We do not sell, share, or trade any visitor data
- We do not collect email addresses, names, or personal information
- We do not serve advertisements
- We do not use social media tracking widgets
Third-Party Services
We load the following resources from third-party CDNs for site functionality:
- Bootstrap CSS/JS from cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Bootstrap Icons from cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Google Fonts from fonts.googleapis.com
These services may log requests per their own privacy policies. We chose CDN-hosted assets for performance; no user data is sent to these services beyond standard HTTP requests.
Data Retention
We do not maintain any user database. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes and then deleted. The age-verification cookie expires after 30 days. The cookie consent cookie expires after one year.
Children’s Privacy
MileHighCannabis.org is intended exclusively for adults aged 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors. The age-verification gate is designed to prevent access by those under 21.
Federal-Workplace Considerations
A particular privacy consideration for Denver visitors and residents: substantial federal-employer presence in the area (Denver Federal Center in Lakewood with USGS, FEMA Region 8, Bureau of Reclamation, and other agencies; Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora; U.S. Mint Denver Branch; Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City — Denver Branch; NREL in Golden; federally-funded research personnel at DU, CU Denver, MSU Denver) means cannabis-related browsing history can theoretically surface in clearance-investigation contexts. We collect no personally-identifiable browsing data on this site, but visitors with security-clearance considerations should be aware of their broader internet-browsing privacy practices independently.
Student Considerations
DU, CU Denver, MSU Denver, MDC, Auraria Campus, Regis, Colorado Christian, Iliff School of Theology, Colorado School of Mines, Denver Public Schools, and CU Boulder students should be aware that their university or school Wi-Fi and managed-device traffic may be logged by the institution for security and DFSCA-compliance purposes. Browsing this site on a personal device on a non-institutional network avoids that consideration. We collect nothing on our end that identifies an individual student or links a session to an enrollment record.
Cannabis-Industry Workforce Considerations
For Denver cannabis-industry workforce members (operators, cultivators, dispensary employees, lounge employees, mobile-tour operators, regulatory-compliance personnel) browsing this site for professional research: the same general privacy considerations apply. We collect no personally-identifiable browsing data. Industry workers in security-sensitive roles should be aware of their broader digital-privacy practices.
Colorado Privacy Law
Colorado enacted the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), effective July 1, 2023, governing data-collection practices. As a small educational site that does not collect personal information beyond basic server logs, the CPA does not impose specific affirmative obligations on us. Colorado’s data-breach notification law governs notice obligations in the event of unauthorized access to personal information. If our practices change, we will update this policy accordingly.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change our privacy practices, we will update this page with a new “last verified” date. We have no plans to add tracking or analytics.
