Privacy Policy for serpwidgets.com

Please note that this privacy policy exists because it is required by Google for anyone running Google Ads on their page. The wording they require makes it sound like the site is some giant commercial marketing farm and data-gathering enterprise. In fact, this site exists as my personal homepage on the web so that I can share my love of cornsnakes with my fellow hobbyists, and hopefully help people learn about genetics and corn morphs, and make their hobby more fun by providing them with stuff like the Snake Measurer.

In plain English, I don't use this site to gather information about anyone, nor do I sell any information about my visitors or their browsing habits. What I do look at, is how many hits each area of the site gets, so that I know what parts of the site to keep and improve. Nothing more. :)

If you require any more information or have any questions about my privacy policy, please feel free to contact me by email at serpwidgets@hotmail.com.

At serpwidgets.com, the privacy of my visitors is of extreme importance to me. This privacy policy document outlines the types of information received and collected by serpwidgets.com and how it is used.

Log Files
Like probably every website on the internet, serpwidgets.com makes use of log files via "webalizer" which is pretty much built into most wehbosting packages. The information inside the log files includes IP addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider ( ISP ), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. It is used by webalizer to analyze trends, track movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses, and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. (If you don't want this information to be known by any websites, the only option is to never ever go anywhere on the web, ever.)

Cookies and Web Beacons
Serpwidgets.com does set one cookie (only if you choose to click on "hide ads") to remember your preference to not see google ads. I do not use cookies to track information about which pages users access or visit. I also do not customize Web page content based on visitors browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser.

.:: Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on serpwidgets.com.
.:: Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to serpwidgets.com and other sites on the Internet.
.:: Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at the following URL - http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html

Google Adsense may use cookies and web beacons on my site. Again, if you click the "hide ads" link these will not even be loaded onto the page in that browser.

These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to serve the advertisements directly to your browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies ( such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons ) may also be used by the third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and / or to personalize the advertising content that you see.

I have no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. That is all happening between you and them.

You should consult Google's privacy policy for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain practices. Serpwidgets.com's privacy policy does not apply to, and I cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.
