Cookie Policy
Below you can read about how cookies are used by this site. If you continue to use this site, you are consenting to our use of cookies
What Are Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the website to remember your settings preferences, to register and keep you logged in to our forums, to make the ads you see more relevant to you, to count how many visitors we receive to a page, etc. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies play an important role. Without them, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.
Our Cookie Usage
This site uses cookies for a variety of reasons, detailed below:
- Session Cookie
All requests to our website create a session cookie in the user's browser. The session cookie's name is based on a randomly generated hash and therefore does not have a constant identifier. The session cookie is destroyed once the session has expired or the user has exited their browser.
- "Remember Me" Cookie
A cookie is created on the user's client if a "Remember Me" checkbox is selected when logging into the website. This cookie is used to automatically log users into the website when they visit and are not already logged in.
- Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics scripts to collect non-personally identifiable information regarding our website’s visitors. This helps us determine and analyze data regarding our site’s traffic and usage, and improve our website to serve our visitors better. We only use this information for analysis.
For more information on Google Analytics cookies, see the official Google Analytics page. - Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a tag management system to manage JavaScript and HTML tags used for tracking and analytics on websites. Tags are small code elements that, among other things, are used to measure traffic and visitor behavior: to understand the effect of online advertising and social channels; to set up remarketing and orientation towards target groups; and to test and optimize websites. GTM makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags.
For more information, see the Google Tag Manager Terms of Service.
- Advertising cookies (possibly third-party)
The Google AdSense service we use to serve advertising uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times that a given ad is shown to you.For more information on Google AdSense see the official Google AdSense privacy FAQ.
- Other third-party cookies (like Facebook or Twitter sharing)
We use social media buttons and plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network in various ways. For these to work, social media sites (Facebook, Twitter) will set cookies through our site. These cookies will generally be set by the third-party independently, so this site will have no ability to access them.
