Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

The content on this blog is my own, excluding other sites where links lead. The stories, thoughts, photographs that I create are copyright protected in my name. The site itself is known as a Blogger “Blogspot” site—owned by Google. I don’t collect anyone’s personal data besides their words, if they comment. Sometimes, people comment anonymously. 

My most recent privacy policy update: October 14, 2024.

Log Files and Cookies

Blogger features a dashboard for the administrator. It records numbers of visits, what countries visits come from, device type visits come from, browser type visits come from. None of it identifies individual users. Anonymous information is stored in server log files, which may include IP addresses, browser type, basic IP information, operating system and date/time stamps used for site administration and analysis of blog usage. On seldom occasion, I visit Google Search Console for more specific information on numbers of visits. Cookies support Google Search Console function, also.

Google may use cookies to provide easier and faster access to blog features such as logins and/or repeat visits. Cookies are tiny little text files stored on personal computers or mobile devices for reference purposes. The blog does not collect any personally identifiable information in cookies, but you can opt out of cookies by clearing them on your device. In other countries, Google provides a cookie banner.

Links to Third Party Websites

Very frequently, I link to other sites. That is a large part of the purpose of Litton’s Fishing Lines. I search out interesting articles, photo essays, news and the like for readers to enjoy, which they avidly do. My other Google blog, Fishing in New Jersey, does not link to other sites, although anyone is free to comment on Fishing in New Jersey. Links will not be tolerated in comments, because no way exists for me to be certain such a link is safe.

Simply be aware that when you click on links I provide, I am not responsible for the privacy practices and/or policies of any other website than the Google Blogger site I use.
