Your e-mail address
Commenting which requires each reader to provide a valid email address has been OFF for the last two years. However, emails that readers have provided when commenting was still active remain in our database. They are just stored there, no one uses them, but if you prefer to have yours deleted, send an email to casa(at)casaveneracion(dot)com using the same email that you gave when you posted a comment.
If you request the deletion of your email address in a comment you have previously posted, note that your entire comment will be deleted as well.
As of April 11, 2020, the newsletter service has been re-introduced. We use Tinyletter by Mailchimp. We only use the email you provide to send you the newsletter. Nothing more and nothing less.
You may read Tinyletter’s privacy policy here.
Use of social media sharing buttons
At the start and end of every blog post, there are social media buttons to enable you to share the link to that page along with a snippet. A plugin is currently installed for that purpose. Use of the buttons does not tell this website’s owner who you are, where you are from or any other personal data. The plugin only counts how many times a blog post has been shared. How your data is used by the social medium where you shared the post varies, and is beyond the control of this website’s owner.
Advertising Privacy Statement
This Site is affiliated with AdThrive, LLC (“AdThrive”) for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site. AdThrive uses standard and widely-available tools for the placement and serving of ads, including those provided by Google, Inc. and its affiliates. We publish interest-based advertisements on the Site; that is, ads that are tailored to reflect your interests. To help understand your interests, AdThrive, Google and our other advertising partners will track your behaviour on our website and on other websites across the Internet using cookies.
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
By using this Site, you consent to the use of such cookies and the sharing of data captured by such cookies with AdThrive, Google, and our other third party partners. You can view, delete or add interest categories associated with your browser by visiting: https://adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of the network cookie using those settings or using the Network Advertising Initiative’s multi-cookie opt-out mechanism at: http://optout.networkadvertising.org. However, these opt-out mechanisms themselves use cookies, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your opt-out will not be maintained.
