Google’s advertising requirements can be summarized in the Google Advertising Principles. They were introduced to provide users with a positive experience. https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en
We have not activated Google AdSense on our website, but we may do so in the future.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

We have implemented the following:
We, along with third-party vendors such as Google use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to
track user traffic – we do NOT use it to serve ads!

Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or by using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser Add-on.
California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the United States to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and the individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – For more information, please visit: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
Pursuant to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can be easily be found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any privacy policy changes:
• On our Privacy Policy Page
You can change your personal information:
• By logging into your account
How does our site handle do-not-track signals?
We do not honor Do Not Track signals and we do not set Do Not Track cookies or advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. We do not honor them because: we do not use tracking, i.e. unnecessary
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It’s also important to note that we don’t allow third-party behavioral tracking.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13 years of age, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically target children under the age of 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you by e-mail
• Within one business day
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle not only provides that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals can turn to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
Ethical behavior
Apart from all legal aspects, we strive for ethically honest behavior. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us!
