We (Andrew Sun) take your privacy very seriously. To ensure the proper operation of our websites, we collect information that may be considered personally identifiable information. Below are terms that apply to all websites operated by me (referred to as the “Andrew Sun Network”), followed by specific terms for this website.
Logging
The web server logs visits to our websites. Information saved includes your IP address, browser, operating system, and the pages viewed. We use these logs to diagnose problems and mitigate attacks. These logs may be retained indefinitely for analysis of historical traffic.
Google Analytics is used on some of our websites for legacy reasons (most don’t anymore and have transitioned to an in-house analytics system that does not share information with third-parties). We use Google Analytics to see how many visitors come to the website, the approximate location of visitors, how much time they spend on the website, and other aggregate data. To limit the exposure of your information, data sharing is disabled in Google Analytics.

Some websites in the Andrew Sun Network contain advertisements. These advertisements, served by Google and other approved third-parties, place cookies in your browser to serve advertisements based on your previous visits to the site. Google’s DoubleClick cookie enables advertisements to be served based on your visits to other sites. To opt out of the DoubleClick cookie, you may visit Google’s Ad Settings page.
