Protecting the privacy of visitors to my website is an issue that I take very seriously. This document details the sorts of personal data collected by cutie-pie.net, as well as how and where that data is used. If you should happen to require any further information or have any burning questions about this privacy policy, please do not hesitate to drop me a line directly using the comment form I have provided for your convenience.

Log Files

Like most other websites, cutie-pie.net uses log files to track visitor data such as IP addresses, browser types, date and time stamps, referral and exit pages, etc. This information is not personally identifiable stuff, which means that it doesn’t actually reveal your identity. As a webmaster, I use these graphs and statistics to determine which posts are the most popular ones, how many people are visiting my site, how long they spend reading each page and other things of that nature.

Cookies And Web Beacons

Now and then, cutie-pie.net may use cookies to store data about visitor preferences, to customize page content based on each guest’s browser, to record information about a reader’s clicking habits and their movements around the site, and so on and so forth. Again, this is all relatively benign “personal information” we’re talking about, here – nothing personally identifiable.

This site attempts to cover its various expenses through advertising partnerships with two very reputable, reliable and trustworthy companies: Amazon and Google. These companies make use of their own cookies and web beacons at cutie-pie.net in order to collect fairly non-specific visitor information for evaluation and analysis. Consult the respective privacy policies of Google and Amazon for more information regarding their practices.

DoubleClick DART Cookie

Google uses cookies to serve ads on cutie-pie.net. The DART cookie enables Google to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and other sites across the web. Users may opt out of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.

Third-party ad servers use specialized technology to send the advertisements and links that appear on cutie-pie.net directly to your browser. When this occurs, they automatically receive your IP address. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript and web beacons) may also be used by the third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content that you see.

It is possible to disable or selectively turn off cookies, if you wish, by changing the privacy settings in your web browser. However, doing so could negatively affect the way you interact with cutie-pie.net and other websites. Because a lot of sites rely on cookies to function properly, blocking all cookies in your browser settings will result in an inability to access many popular services and programs, like making purchases online or logging into forums and email accounts.

Data collected by cutie-pie.net will never be sold, bartered or voluntarily provided to any third-party entities. Email addresses submitted in accordance with on-page comment form requirements or through the site’s general contact form will not be subjected to spam messages, advertisements or other unsolicited correspondence from cutie-pie.net.
