Accuracy of Content Disclaimer

The website and all content are provided as is. By accessing and using the website you acknowledge and agree that use of the website and the content is entirely at your own risk. We make no representations or warranties regarding the website and the content, including, without limitation, no representation or warranty (1) that the website and/or content will be accurate, complete, reliable, suitable, or timely; (2) that any content, including, without limitation, any information, data, software, product, or service contained in or made available through the website will be of merchantable quality or fit for a particular purpose; (3) that the operation of the website will be uninterrupted or error free; (4) that defects or errors in the website will be corrected; (5) that the website will be free from viruses or harmful components; and (6) that communications to or from the website will be secure or not intercepted.

Cookies, Logs, Pixels, Caching, and other Technologies

  • Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes technologies such as “cookies”, “logs”, and “pixels” to collect information about how our site is used.
  • Cookies are small text documents that often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that website’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
  • Server logs are electronic records that are captured and stored to record details of your visit to a website. This may include the date, time, and duration of your visit, a list of which pages were viewed, which hyperlinks were clicked, and your IP address.
  • Social Media Pixels are small bits of code that allow social media websites to track visitors, usually to allow the social media operator to tailor advertising to specific individuals.
  • “Caching” refers to the local collection of website data in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary.
  • We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over the Internet. SSL is widely used for web browsing, email, instant messaging, and voice over IP services.
  • By visiting our website, or by clicking on hyperlinks contained therein, you consent to the use of cookies, logs, pixels, caching, and other technologies.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If you choose, you can visit access our website and browse the content without disclosing any of your personal data. We do not collect personal information about individuals, such as names and mailing or e-mail addresses unless it is clearly provided by the individual.

If you do not want to agree to the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the website.
