By continuing to use our website and submitting your information through our forms, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. We aim to provide you with clear choices regarding our use of cookies.
How We Use Cookies:
- Understanding Your Interests (Email Tracking): When you provide your email address through our web forms (like newsletter sign-ups, content downloads, or contact forms), we link your email address to a unique, anonymized identifier stored in a cookie. This helps us:
- Understand your interests: We observe your activity on our site (e.g., pages visited, content downloaded) to learn what information is most relevant to you.
- Personalize your experience: This information helps us tailor future communications and content to your preferences, making your interactions with our site more useful.
- Improve our services: We use this data to analyze overall website engagement and identify areas where we can improve our content and user experience.
What Information is Stored:
The cookie itself does not directly store your email address. Instead, it holds a unique, anonymized identifier that is associated with your email address in our secure systems. This allows us to track your activity on our site without directly exposing your personal information within the cookie.

These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies you. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are only used to improve how a website works.

Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information
As defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), ‘selling’ personal information may include sharing it for cross-context behavioral advertising, even without monetary exchange. We do not ‘sell’ your personal information in the traditional sense, nor do we intentionally ‘share’ your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by California law. If, however, you are a California resident and wish to exercise your right to opt-out, you may do so by contacting us and and request to opt out.

Data Retention
We retain the information collected via cookies, including the anonymized identifier linked to your email address and associated behavioral data, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Generally, 30 days. Once the retention period expires, personal information is deleted or anonymized.
Embedded content from other websites
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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
