How this site uses cookies, analytics, and advertising. Last updated September 28, 2026.
visitwaynecountymo.com (“this site”) is an independently run community guide to Wayne County, Missouri. It is not operated by Wayne County government. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, and how it’s used.
Information we collect
We don’t require an account, and we don’t ask for personal information to browse the site. The contact form doesn’t store anything on our end. Submitting it opens a pre-filled message in your own email app, and nothing is sent unless you choose to send that email.
Like most websites, this site uses cookies and similar technologies through the third-party services described below. Those services may collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and how you arrived at the site.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit, which pages they view, and how the site’s ads and sections perform. This helps us decide what to improve. Google Analytics uses cookies and reports aggregated statistics, not your identity. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services, or opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
This site shows ads to help cover its costs. Some are placed directly by local businesses and organizations. Others are served by Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads or related cookies are used.
Other embedded services
The community calendar loads event listings from Google Calendar, and some pages link to outside sites such as Facebook pages, maps, and business websites. Those services have their own privacy policies, which apply once you use or visit them.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies won’t stop you from using this site, though you may see less relevant ads.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and doesn’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes and questions
