PunditGuy is an independent journal at punditguy.com. This page explains the information used to operate the site, moderate comments, measure readership, and support advertising. For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected].

Information you provide

If you submit a comment, WordPress collects the information you enter, such as your name or chosen display name, email address, website address, and comment. It may also record your IP address and browser information for moderation and security. Approved comments, their display names, and any website links you submit can be public. Your email address is not displayed with your comment. Comments and associated information may be retained to maintain the discussion and moderation history. Contact us if you would like to request removal of a comment or information associated with it.

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information in your message so we can respond. Do not include sensitive personal information in a public comment.

Site operation and security

Our hosting, content-delivery, and security services process technical information such as IP addresses, requested pages, request times, and browser information to deliver pages, protect accounts, and investigate errors or abuse. The site uses WordPress, HostKoala hosting, and Cloudflare. Site backups are stored through UpdraftPlus in Google Drive. These service providers process information as part of providing their services.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. WordPress may use cookies for login sessions and, if you choose to save your details when commenting, to remember those details. Analytics and advertising services may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers to measure visits, deliver ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand readership, including page views, traffic sources, browser and device information, and interactions with the site. Google processes information under its own privacy terms. Learn how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services. Google also offers an Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Google AdSense and advertising partners

This site uses Google AdSense to support advertising. Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. Third parties may place and read cookies or use web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers as a result of advertising on this site. Depending on your choices and location, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited.

You can manage Google’s personalized advertising through My Ad Center. You can also find information about participating companies’ advertising choices at YourAdChoices. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and its explanation of advertising technologies.

Your choices

Where a privacy message is displayed, use its controls to consent, decline, or manage the purposes and partners described there. Privacy-choice links, when available, let you revisit those choices. You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect some site features, and opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertising.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, or to object to certain uses. Email [email protected] with your request. We may need enough information to identify the relevant comment or correspondence and verify the request.

Links and embedded content

Articles may link to other websites or include images, video, or other material served by third parties. Those services may receive technical information when their content loads and may use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Their privacy policies govern their services.
