Comment Policy
Much like I strive to not be a bashing blogger, please do
not be a bashing commenter. I encourage and love to hear differing opinions and
ideas but lets play it nice shall we? One of my favorite parts of blogging is
the community that has sprouted within it as a community I’d hope we’d want to
support each other, not tear one another apart. Please be respectful and shower
others with grace.
Disclosure Policy
Though small, this blog is a
source of income. Because we use this blog as a source of income I sometimes
choose and agree to promote products/services/businesses, however know that I
only choose to do so when it’s advantageous for my readers and does not
compromise my beliefs or integrity in any way. I only choose to share what I
feel would be beneficial to you guys. Whether it be traditional payment
and/or through a free product, no review is guarantee to be positive. All
reviews are honest and no compromises are made to earn a dollar.
Privacy Policy
The privacy of my visitors to
Root&Blossom is important to me. Here is information on what types of
personal information I receive and collect when you use and visit
Root&Blossom, and how I safeguard your information. I never sell your
personal information to third parties.
Log Files: As with most other websites, I collect and use
the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your
IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as
AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet
Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited
throughout our site.
Cookies and Web Beacons: I do use cookies to store information, such as
your personal preferences when you visit my site.
I do use third party
advertisements on Root&Blossom to support the site and my family (as
mentioned above in the Disclosure Policy). Some of these advertisers may use technology
such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will
also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program)
information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit
our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is
generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to
someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific
sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking
sites).
DoubleClick DART cookies: I also may use DART cookies for ad serving
through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you
are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including
some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific
to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”).
The ads served will be
targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been
viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel
advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about
hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track
personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical
address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or
credit card numbers.
You can opt-out of this ad
serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting
http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
You can choose to disable or
selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser
settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet
Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with my blog as
well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services
or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
Deleting cookies does not
mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have
settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the
advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
