Privacy Policy

This site itself collects some information about you, the user browsing this site. I try to keep it close to the bare minimum, so that information is the following:

1. Your IP address and information about your device such as Operating System, type of device, etc. This information is automatically disclosed when accessing any website on the Internet and anyone running those websites can see it.
1. Since Google LLC, which I will shorten to "Google" from this point on, hosts this blog, this information is collected by them and I cannot access it, so send them a GDPR request if you want that information scrubbed.
2. Google, along with various third-party vendors, use cookies to collect information about websites you visit, including this one, to serve personalized ads.
3. Basic statistical data regarding pages viewed, because that's what Blogger's analytics collect. It just says how many times people have viewed a page or visited the site. This information is not personalized in any way whatsoever.
4. Your Blogger profile if you have one when you post a comment on any page here. However, you can also post anonymously.

Before consenting for this site to use your personal data, please also consider the following:

1. Google and their parent company, Alphabet Inc are gathering information about you that is highlighted in their own privacy policy. Once again, in this case it's used primarily to serve personalized ads.
2. Ads served by Google Adsense can be depersonalized through this Ad Settings page.
3. Third parties approved by Google may also serve adverts through Adsense. You can opt out of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting their sites, which are listed here and here. You can also use this site to opt out of cookies for personalized advertising for a number of third-party entities.
1. You can also see a list of many of Google's ad partners by clicking on "Manage Options". 

If you find any of the above disagreeable, you can and should refuse to consent to having your personal data being collected and used. The blog should still be accessible, but companies like Google shouldn't be able to use your data while accessing this site at least.
