This site uses Google Analytics and Adsense and Amazon Associates.

Please note that with the exception of these features detailed below I do not and will not ever gather or seek to gather any information about visitors to this website.

Any use of Google Adsense is subject to the Privacy Policy 
The following sets out the main features of the policy but for further information please see the full policy at the above link.
When you are accessing the web through a web browser, when we serve an ad to you, we may place a cookie in your browser. A cookie is a text file, consisting of a series of random numbers and letters that serves as a pseudonymous identifier for your browser, but does not identify you. We use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to record information about what ads your browser is shown, as well as what ads you click and other actions you take on our sites and services. Cookies allow us to serve more relevant and useful ads to you.
To serve ads in applications and other clients where cookie technology is not available, we have engineered an anonymous ID by associating your device ID with a random, anonymous string of characters. To serve ads that are relevant and tailored to your interests, we may use information about your activity in applications or other clients that use an anonymous ID. Some of these applications or other clients also may use non-personally identifying information, such as demographic data, to provide relevant advertising. Applications and other clients may display ads from both Google advertisers and other third-party ad serving companies, including other ad networks, provided they comply with Google’s third-party ad serving requirements.
Any use of Google Analytics is subject to the Privacy Policy

Google Analytics is a web analytics tool that helps website owners understand how visitors engage with their website. Google Analytics customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so they can improve it. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.

Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions. These cookies are used to store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page. Browsers do not share first-party cookies across domains.

Google Analytics does not report the actual IP address information to Google Analytics customers.
