Third Party Cookies

While this site doesn't use cookies, some content embedded on some pages of the site may do so (e.g., the “Local Time” function on my Contact and Business Hours/Rates pages).

We Don't Collect Log Data

Unlike many site operators, we DO NOT collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site ("Log Data" — also known as analytics).

This site takes advantage of information provided by your browser to provide a responsive layout (but we neither log nor retain that information).

No Google Analytics

We don't use analytics, including Google Analytics.

The choice NOT to use these services is a result of our concern about the widespread collection and commercialization of personal information for commercial gain. Learn more about our privacy concerns.

This data may be collected by other parties including

our hosting service;
your ISP;
your cellular or Wi-Fi provider;
your device;
your browser; or
your VPN service.

Firefox Recommended

Your choice of browser matters. We strongly recommend Mozilla Firefox both because it is open source and because of Mozilla's stand on privacy. Review your Firefox settings and change your default search engine to StartPage or DuckDuckGo.

External Links

This Site uses a significant number of external links pointing to other websites. We use external links:

to provide additional information on topics discussed on this Site;
to attribute our source for direct quotations used on this Site; and
to provide additional services related to this Site such as our hosting service.

External links are indicated with a dotted line underneath. For example,

DuckDuckGo points to an external site.
Self-help Resources points to content on this site.

Current browsers support the HTML/CSS markup used on this site.

External Sites May Use Cookies

External websites may use cookies and are not subject to this Site's Cookie Policy since most of those websites track you even before you've read their policies.

We recommend that you read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policies for each external site before providing any personal information to them.

Cookies and Tracking

This site does NOT use Google Ads or Facebook Like buttons, but many other sites do.

New Tracking Methods

Newer technologies like browser fingerprinting and other tracking mechanisms are rapidly replacing cookies for tracking purposes. If you use a mobile device, you are subject to much more tracking by the manufacturer, cellular service provider and many of the apps on your device (even if you're not using them at the time).

Google Analytics

This Site does NOT use Google Analytics.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize the Google Display Network ads. Visit the Google Ads Settings page.

From a privacy point-of-view, adding a cookie or employing a browser add-on to avoid tracking is counterproductive because it can be used to track you.
