Affiliate Advertising

We participate in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to certain third-party websites. We may earn a commission if you click on or make purchases via affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.

Google Adsense

We use Google Adsense, a service for including advertisements from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Adsense uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. Google Adsense also uses web beacons (invisible images). Through these web beacons, information such as the visitor traffic on these pages can be evaluated.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about your use of this website (including your IP address) and delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information can be passed on from Google to contracting parties of Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data you have stored.

For more information on data usage by Google, settings and opt-out options, please visit Google’s websites: “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps“, “How AdSense uses cookies“, “Control what data Google uses to show you ads“.
