Privacy and Cookies

This web site (the “Site”) is located in the United States of America. Use of this site is for entertainment purposes only and is solely at your own risk.

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our site. We use your data only to provide and improve the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree to any part of this Privacy Policy, then you should stop accessing the Site.

The Site does not presently contain advertising, but it might in the future. If this changes, we will update this privacy page.

Personal Data

All our online sales are performed at other e-commerce sites and/or card processing sites, not at this Site. If you use those sites, their privacy policy will govern their interactions with you, not ours. We have no control over their practices.

Please do not provide to this Site any information you consider sensitive or confidential. This Site is not intended for sensitive personal data.

If you register for an account at the Site, you will be asked for contact information, which will be stored in your profile. By doing so, you accept all risk that this Site, or any other communication channels between you and this Site, may be breached by hackers who might publish the data you provide here.

You can read all our content without a login account. It is not presently possible to create a login account, so please don’t be concerned that you cannot find a registration or login page. There isn’t one.

Usage Data

We, and the web site hosting company we use, may also collect information how the Site is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, operating system, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data. Data collection by the web site hosting company is not under our control.

Cookies

As far as I know, this site only uses one cookie, and only if you select ’night’ mode by clicking the moon logo. In that case, one cookie is used to remember that night mode is turned on. The cookie is used by the theme to manage the night mode viewing option. We do not make use of it ourselves to track anyone. There is no opt-out, except that if you do not click on the night mode button, I believe the cookie is not created at all.

I used Microsoft Edge to get this report about the night-mode cookie:

Tracking mechanisms

Some sites use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on the Site and hold certain information. Cookies are files with small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Tracking technologies also can include beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze the Site.

This site does not presently use tracking technologies. If that changes, we will update this privacy page.

Links to other websites

There are buttons on this Site to allow you to share posts to various social media sites. There are links to other websites such as Flickr (owned by SmugMug), LinkedIn (owned by Microsoft), YouTube (owned by Google), and Facebook (owned by Meta) where we post other information. Using those links will take you to their web sites which are governed by their own practices and policies, not ours. We have no control over their data collection.

Articles or pages on the Site may include links to other websites and/or embedded content from other websites (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Other websites are not under our control and are governed by their own policies. Our linking to them is not an endorsement or recommendation of those sites or of their contents or services.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These other 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 other website. Such activities are governed by the policies and data management of those other websites, not this Site, and we do not receive any data they collect.

Transfer of Data

All information collected directly by this Site is stored in the United States of America, because the Site is hosted there.
