We will collect Users’ names and email addresses ONLY if they voluntarily submit such information to us.
Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from commenting on posts.

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site.
Non-personal identification information may include:

Web Browser Cookies
Our Site uses “cookies” to enhance User experience.
Users’ web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them.
Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies or to alert them when cookies are being stored.
If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.
If Users leave comments on our Site they may opt-in to saving their name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for Users’ convenience so that they do not have to fill in their details again when they leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Without cookies, our Site can’t function properly, and your access is heavily affected.
Cache Pages
This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience.
Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site.
All cache files are temporary and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor.
Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary.
