Communications With Me

As a general policy, I delete email to and from a person I don't know as soon as it is practical, and I don't record anything about it...

• Email asking me a question, and any replies, are kept until I am fairly sure the exchange is over - usually a few days.
• Email requesting a Google Analytics report, and my reply sending the report, are deleted immediately after my reply is sent.

Email on my computer may be preserved on one or more of my system backups.

I will never use your information to send bulk mail or email. I will never give or sell any information about you to a third party unless you explicitly give me permission or I am compelled by law.

Contributions

No ad on This Website is:

• "served" to you based on information about you
• involved in gathering information about you
• involved in tracking what you do on the web

Google Analytics

• total and unique page-views and visitors
• total sessions and average pages and time per session
• average time on each page
• proportion of new versus returning visitors

Information that I use to try to improve This Website includes:

• how often each page was used to enter or exit This Website
• average session times and pages per session
• the most common ways people move from page to page

Please note...

This Website doesn't use Google's ads or social products.

I have turned off all options in Google Analytics to share data.

I get no information that you could object to, want to correct or want to delete.

Cookies

• a cookie called _ga containing a random string used to identify unique users anonymously
• a cookie called _gat used to prevent a visitor from generating a huge number of "events". (This Website doesn't use events.)

This Website will work fine if you have set your web browser to not accept cookies.

There is Me and there is Google

However, Google requires that this policy include a way for you to get more information about how Google Analytics collects and processes data, and they recommend this link...

How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

This document is vague about what information, if any, moves between Google Analytics and other Google products and services, even with the information-sharing options turned off. This isn't ideal, but it is the way Google works.

If You Don't Like It...

If you would like to prevent Google Analytics from running at all on your device, Google provides a browser Add-On that does this. It won't affect your use of This Website. See...

Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
