PRIVACY AND DISCLOSURE
Therahappy highly values your privacy. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information. This policy was last updated and is valid from November 23, 2019 and may change without notice.
(1) Credit
This document was created using a combination of the SEQ Legal template, SEOJack’s Privacy Policy Generator, and DisclosurePolicy.org.
(2) Compensation
I am occasionally compensated to provide my opinion on products, services, websites, and various other topics. This compensation is provided through avenues such as free products, promotion codes, and monetary payment. I will always disclose when compensation has been made for the review of a product. Even though I sometimes receive compensation for posts or advertisements, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
(3) 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. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
Cookies are used as a part of our commenting system so you don’t have to enter your details every time, and to collect information for Google Analytics, so I can better understand the viewing habits of my followers. This helps me to know the best times for me to publish my posts, and which posts are most popular with those of you who love the blog!
We also use cookies to keep track of advertisements and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, while some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer (version 9) you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block All Cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.
