Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect demographic and interest information about our visitors. Google Analytics uses cookies and other technologies to collect information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our site and our services. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
We have implemented Google Analytics Advertising solely to collect Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to better understand who our audience is and to better tailor future content. We do not advertise on this website, nor do we sell, share, retarget, or otherwise provide access to your anonymized information to any other organization or advertiser.
Google Analytics collects data about your traffic via Google advertising cookies and identifiers, in addition to data collected through a standard Google Analytics implementation. Google Analytics will associate the visitation information it collects from this site with Google information from accounts of signed-in users who have consented to this association for the purpose of ads personalization. This Google information may include end user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google—and is used to provide aggregated and anonymized insights into users’ cross device behaviors. Such data may be accessed and/or deleted by end users via My Activity.
You also have the right to disable Google Analytics tracking, visit this page to do so.
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

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.
