Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Display Ads/ Retargeting Ads
At any given time, I may use a third party marketing agency to serve ads on my website. In this case, the third party agency will have access to certain information from my website, including, analytics and ad clicks. This is done to provide information that is of interest to you. Third parties use cookies to track this information. You will be notified when there are cookies on this website and you can disable them on your browser at any time.
Affiliate Marketing
This website engages in affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is done by using embedded tracking links. If you click on an affiliate link, then a cookie will be placed on your browser for a given period of time in order to track any sales for purposes of commissions. The ‘cookie’ allows the merchant to know what website that sale came from in order to provide payment. This comes at no extra cost to you. You will not be paying a higher price for a product by clicking on an affiliate link. My website simply gets a small commission from that sale.
