Privacy Policy

Please read this privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how I collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your personally identifiable information in accordance with my website.

Please note the separate section at the bottom in relation to Mediavine. It is necessary to paste their privacy policy in its entirety and as a result, you may find some duplicated information on this page.

When do I collect information and what information do I collect?

I collect your name, email address and other information from you when you comment on my blog.

I also collect information if you comment due to my Akismet anti-spam service.

This information includes the your IP address, user agent, referrer, and site URL (along with other information directly provided by you such as your name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

You have the option to have your details stored to avoid having to re-enter them every time you comment.

If you later wish your email address to be deleted, contact me via the email address on the contact page and I will remove it within one week.

Do I use ‘cookies’ or pixels?

Yes, I do use cookies and pixels. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your machine to help the site provide a better user experience. Pixels deliver information or behaviors to a server.

In general, cookies are used to retain user preferences, to store information for things like shopping carts, to provide anonymized tracking data to third party applications like Google Analytics (read how this works) and to keep track of advertisements such as Mediavine (more on that below).

As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. However, you may prefer to disable cookies on this site and on others.

The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser. I suggest consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look at the About Cookies website which offers guidance for all modern browsers.

Members of the EU are shown the Cookie Consent bar to inform them of my use of cookies.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (most likely to be embedded You Tube clips.).

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Third party disclosure

I do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties.

Occasionally, at my discretion, I may include or offer third party products or services on my website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies.

I therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.
