Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and service providers automatically receive technical information when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. Some of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies, described below.
How we use information
We use information to:
- run, secure and improve the site;
- understand which articles and pages people read;
- show ads that help pay for the site (see “Advertising”);
- answer messages sent through the contact form;
- detect and prevent spam, fraud and abuse.
We do not sell information you send us through the contact form.
Advertising
This site shows ads through Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on this site.
- Our site uses an ad-management tool to place ads on pages. This tool may also check whether an ad blocker is active in your browser.
Your ad choices:
- You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings (also available through Google’s My Ad Center).
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info or optout.networkadvertising.org. If you are in Europe, you can also visit www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- To learn more, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to you.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how people arrive at the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your IP address, device and browser details, and pages visited. You can learn how Google uses this information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies and how to control them
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We and our service providers use them to keep the site working (for example, keeping you signed in), to measure traffic, and to show and measure ads.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site, such as signing in, may not work properly.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will see a consent message from Google when you first arrive. It lets you choose whether cookies and your information may be used for personalized ads and related purposes. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser; the consent message will appear again on your next visit.
Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict how it is used, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, see “Contact us.”
Your U.S. state privacy rights
Residents of some U.S. states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with consumer privacy laws, may have the right to:
- know what personal information we collect about them and how we use and disclose it;
- get a copy of that personal information;
- ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate;
- ask us to delete it;
- opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, or its use for targeted advertising, as those terms are defined under state law;
- not be treated differently for using these rights.
The cookies used by our advertising and analytics partners may count as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, or as targeted advertising, under some state laws. To opt out, you can use the ad choices listed in the “Advertising” section above, block cookies in your browser, or contact us. Where required by law, we treat a browser opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, as a valid opt-out request for that browser.
How to make a request: Use our Contact Us form and write “Privacy request” in the subject line. We may need to verify your identity before we act on a request. You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you, and we may ask for proof that the agent is authorized. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our response.
How information is shared
We share information only as described in this policy:
- Service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting, security and content-delivery providers, spam filtering for the contact form, and the analytics and advertising services described above.
- Advertising partners, including Google, which collect information through cookies as described under “Advertising.”
- Legal reasons, when we believe it is required by law or needed to protect the rights, safety or property of our visitors, the site or others.
Data retention and security
We keep contact-form messages and account information only as long as we need them for the purposes in this policy or as required by law. We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
