I try to earn enough money to keep my blogs going by making a little money each time you buy a product that I’ve recommended. It doesn’t cost YOU any more money (phew!), but if you purchase a product I recommend on this site, the vendor gives me a tiny commission. You get some good information, the vendor gets a sale, and I get enough for this week’s ramen noodles… see, it works out well for everyone! Thanks for visiting!
I will respect your privacy regarding any information that may be collected while operating this website. Here is the legal mumbo jumbo:
Website Visitors
Like most websites, this site collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. My purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how my visitors use this website.
This site also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. I do not use such information to identify visitors, however, and I do not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that I use and disclose personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to this website may choose to interact with me in ways that require me to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that I gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, contacting me requires an email address so that I may respond. In each case, I collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with me. I do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
I will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. I disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when I believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect my property or rights, third parties, or the public at large. If you send me a question (for example you need help with your cat’s behavior), I reserve the right to publish it in order to help me clarify or respond to your request or to help me help other users. I take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. I may use cookies to help me identify and track visitors, their usage of this website, and their website access preferences. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using this website, with the drawback that certain features of this website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Ads
Ads appearing on my website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by this website only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, I may change my Privacy Policy from time to time, and in my sole discretion. I encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
