Means By Which Information Is Collected
There are two principal means by which information may be collected: automatic collection and non-automatic collection.
Automatic Collection: Like many sites, we use “cookies” or other tracking technology. Cookies are small text files that reside on your computer and identify you as a unique user. Cookies allow us to, among other things, measure activity on our website and to personalize your experience on our website. For instance, cookies may enable us to remember your viewing preferences. If you choose, you can set your browser to reject cookies or you can manually delete individual or all of the cookies on your computer by following your browser’s help file directions. However, if your browser is set to reject cookies or you manually delete cookies, you may have some trouble accessing and using some of the pages and features on our website.
Non-Automatic Collection: We may collect information by asking you to fill out a form online, for example when you comment.
We do not seek information from children. If you are under 18 you should not provide us with any information.
Purposes For Which Information May Be Used
Tracking Usage: We may track how you use our site to improve your experience. In addition, we may aggregate the information that you provide with the information that other users provide in order to conduct research, analyses, or studies to improve your experience.
Third-Party Companies
Daily Plate of Crazy may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads and/or content when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. They may collect information directly from visitors and may place or recognize cookies on visitors’ browsers.

Daily Plate of Crazy complies with applicable laws relating to the processing in the United States of information collected from visitors to the site and uses services like Quantcast that place cookies on the user’s computer and gather the user’s IP address to measure audience statistics. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
Third Party Advertiser Cookies and Web Beacons
A “cookie” is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a Web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies can be used to target advertisements relevant to your interests, based on your visits to different Web sites, to provide traffic measurement and other analytics and to conduct research.
A “Web beacon” is an electronic file on a Web page that allows a Web site to count users who have visited that page, to access certain cookies and to provide auditing, research and reporting for advertisers.
When your browser requests a page that displays advertising from one of the Advertisers, the Advertiser may view, edit or set its own cookie through your browser. In addition, the Advertiser may place its own Web beacon in the page, which may be triggered by your browser’s request.
Sharing Your Information
Generally: We may collect information from you in the course of your visit to our website. In general we do not collect personal information as that term is ordinarily defined (i.e., your first and last name in conjunction with sensitive information about you). We do collect other information about you such as your screen name, your email address, and your IP address.
You may choose to submit or post information on Daily Plate of Crazy. Because any information you choose to post will be available on the Internet, we can make no assurance that others will not use, or misuse that information.
Subcontractors: From time to time we may share information with subcontractors that provide us with services. These services may include, among other things, helping to provide services that you request, helping to create or maintain our databases, and helping to research and analyze the people who request services or information from us.
Other Websites
Our website, or our e-mails, may link to third parties’ websites. It is also possible that third parties’ websites or e-mails may link to our website. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these websites before transmitting any information to third parties.
