Cookies
This Website uses “cookies” to collect information. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. Personal Information cannot be collected via cookies; however, if you previously provided Personal Information, cookies may be tied to such information.
Cookies may be used to:
- Understand and save your preferences for future site visits.
- Keep track of advertisements.
- Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. I may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on my behalf.
Blocking, deleting, and opting out of cookies
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but in most cases, you can modify your browser settings to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. (Check your browser’s Help menu to determine the correct way to modify your settings.) However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Website.
California Do-Not-Track disclosures
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” mechanism that informs websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. Browsers vary in their implementation of this mechanism, and this Website does not currently respond to “do-not-track” signals.
Links to other websites
This Website contains links to other websites. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies, and Word Shaper therefore has no responsibility or liability for how your Personal Information is used on these linked sites.
Word Shaper participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that enables sites to earn fees by linking to products on amazon.com.
Security
While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security. I ask that you not submit sensitive information, such as your birth date, social security number, or bank or credit card number, via the contact form.
