How we collect information and the types of information we collect: 

  • Google Analytics: Google Analytics is a popular web analytics service we use to track general trends in traffic and website performance. It provides us with lots of great analytics information we use to create a site you’ll love, such as which posts are receiving the most traffic and where our traffic is coming from. While this does put a cookie on your computer, it does not store ANY personally identifying information about you. Just overall trends that can’t be tied to a certain user. If you are not comfortable with Google collecting demographic information about you, Google does provide the option to opt-out of Google tracking here.
  • Email Sign-Ups: If you choose to sign up by email, we will have access to your IP address along with other information you provide, such as your name, email, and what forms you opted into. We also “tag” users based on the links you click in order to provide emails that are customized to your preference. For example, you have the option to opt out of parenting emails and certain promotions.
  • Comment Boxes, Giveaways and Surveys: If you choose to leave a comment on this site, enter a giveaway or answer a survey, we only collect basic information such as your IP address and/or browser information, plus any information you provide. We use this information to serve you better (by answering your questions in comment boxes or writing content around the most common survey answers, for example).
  • Product Purchases:  We store only basic information as needed to complete your transaction, including but not limited to your name, email address, IP address and purchase details.
  • Ads. Some of the ads we run may use third-party collect non-personal information, such as IP address and websites viewed. You can block all third party cookies in your browser settings, but this is likely to negatively impact your user experience across the web as a whole.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, you’d like a complete list of the data we have for you, you’d like to opt out, or if you would like us to erase all of your data in our systems, please email us directly and let us know how we can help.

Third Party Advertising
We may have third-party advertising companies serving ads to you when you visit our website. These companies may store information about your visits to our website and to other websites in order to provide you with relevant advertisements about goods and services.

These companies may employ cookies and other identifiers to gather information which measures advertising effectiveness. The information is generally not personally identifiable unless, for example, you provide personally identifiable information to them through an ad or an e-mail message.

Information Gathered by Third Party Advertisers
Cookies enable advertisers to learn about what ads you see, what ads you click, and other actions you take on our site and other sites. This allows advertisers to provide you with more useful and relevant ads. For example, if they know what ads you are shown while visiting our site, they can be careful not to show you the same ones repeatedly. They do not associate your interaction with unaffiliated sites with your identity in providing you with interest-based ads.

We do not provide any personal information to advertisers or to third party sites. Advertisers and other third-parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalized ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards (for example, readers in the Pacific Northwest who read certain types of articles). Also, some third-party cookies may provide them with information about you (such as the sites where you have been shown ads or demographic information) from offline and online sources that they may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.

If you would like to learn more about what options you have about limiting the gathering of information by third-party ad networks, you can consult the website of the Network Advertising Initiative.

You can opt out of participating in interest-based advertising networks but opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the companies from which you opted out will no longer customize ads based on your interests and web usage patterns using cookie-based technology.
