Privacy Policy

Everyone is worried about how their personal data is used. Heck, we worry about it too. Because we get international visitors to our site, we wanted to take a moment to clarify for our EU visitors how we use data.

1. We use tracking cookies. Regardless of the scary things you read in news stories, a cookie basically functions like a traffic counter on a highway. All that’s captured is that a car drove over the counter and not WHO is in the car or even WHAT the car is. The same holds true with cookies and websites. We know that SOMEONE visited the website – and even where they came from (in terms of zip or postal code).
2. These cookies tell us what parts of the website you’re visiting and what you’re reading. That helps us, as site owners, continuously refine our content. What do you like? What should we write more of?
3. If you see ads on our site, they’re also using cookies to match up what WE have written on the site to THEIR ad inventory. As the site owners, we don’t even KNOW if YOU click it. All we know is that it gets clicked.

Here’s the fancy legal stuff:
