Privacy Policy, Disclaimers, and Terms of Use
This privacy policy explains how our sites uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website.
First, we will start with the most common privacy issue: use of cookies and how you can manage them. Our user should know that almost all sites use cookies and if they place links to other sites, these other sites are likely using cookies. While website publishers should be transparent about the use of cookies, it should be noted that visitors to websites should be proactive in learning and control which cookies they allow to collect data about them, and which should not be allowed. The end-user (websites visitors) can protect their privacy best and we want to empower them to do so. A simple step we recommend is for visitors to our sites, and other sites for that matter, to use privacy-centered browsers to access our content. Some of these browsers, like Brave, come with default settings that block all cookies from collecting your data. You can adjust the settings to allow sites YOU trust to collect some data or all data depending on your level of trust. With that said, we do our part to be transparent about our use of cookies and what we do with the information we collect. Let’s start with cookies…
