Cookie Policy

Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons.

We don’t use Google Analytics on our website. We use Independent Analytics which doesn’t use any cookies at all, 1st or 3rd party. For this reason, we don’t need to display a cookie consent banner.

Other products on your site uses cookies. These cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Independent Analytics doesn’t share any data with outside servers. All of the analytics data is created and stored entirely on our server without any external communication.

No Personal Information Is Stored
The data saved by Independent Analytics is fully anonymous. There aren’t names, addresses, or other bits of personally identifiable information saved. In order to recognize repeat visits, the visitors IP address is encrypted and this unique ID is used to recognize future visits.

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.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
