COMMENTS
When you leave a comment on this site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. We also collect the IP address and browser to help detect spam comments.
The Gravatar service collects an anonymized string created from your email address, which is then provided to their service to see if you are using it. This is what puts your cute little profile picture beside your comments. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
If we link or embed something here on this site (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites, it behaves in the same way as if you visited that other site.
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.
ANALYTICS
Google Analytics is used to provide us with visitor data and statistics. We don’t sell this data, but we sometimes aggregate it to sell us. “Look at how many cool people are visiting our site! You should totally hire us!” Read more about Google Analytics data practices here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en
PUBLISHING PARTNERS
Remember those ads I mentioned above? Another way I make money is by creating sponsored content. Influencer marketing companies and local businesses sometimes use tracking tools to monitor engagement with their sponsored content. You’ll always see a disclosure at the top of any sponsored, letting you know it’s advertising.
