Privacy Policy


The privacy of our visitors to Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator is important to us.

At Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Google AdSense 
Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator is a participant in Google AdSense program.  Google AdSense is a cost-per-click (CPC) advertising program that allows website and blog publishers to have ads appear that are targetted and relevant to the content of the site / blog. 

Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as Bell Canada, Rogers, AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our blog (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our blog and which pages you visited throughout our blog. 

Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our blog. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.

We also use third party advertisements on Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator to support our blog. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our blog, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our blog, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Toronto real estate ads to someone in Toronto, Canada, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites). 

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”).

The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social insurance numbers, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. 

As our valuable visitors, you may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Ads Settings of Google.  You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for interest based advertising by visiting US-based aboutads.info choices page or the EU-based Your Online Choices.  Please also refer to Google's Advertising page and Google’s privacy policy for more information.

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our blog as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
