privacy & disclosures

As with most websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as Verizon), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Chrome or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site. We use this data to improve your experience, such as making sure our site is compatible with the browser you use.

We also use affiliate links to share where to buy something. If you choose to purchase something based on our recommendation through one of these links, we may make a small commission on the sale. The prices you pay aren’t higher because of it. We also link to items that do not pay us a commission.

Additionally, the site may show third party advertisements, and some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, and the browser you used to visit our site. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies by managing your browser settings, or by using programs such as Norton Internet Security or via extensions in Chrome. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
