Your data
I don’t log data. I don’t track usage. I don’t use trackers of any kind. I use session, non-persistent cookies to ensure your experience of my site is a good one. For the mailing list, I use a third-party service called Mailchimp. By subscribing to The TaxPoodle (taxpoodle.net), you acknowledge that your email address will be transferred to Mailchimp for processing; I will not otherwise sell, rent, lease, or share the information you have provided with any other party.

What are cookies?
Cookies are very useful and enable a website to recognize you, provide a secure connection, and enhance your user experience by formatting content for your device’s characteristics and capabilities; they are messages from the web server (“host”) passed to your browser when you visit this site – in other words, cookies are small text files of information that are created when visiting taxpoodle.net and stored on your device by a web browser. A cookie may be sent back to the server whenever your browser requests a page.
How are cookies used?
I use cookies solely to facilitate the performance and functionality of this site, and only for the duration of your visit.
Are there different types of cookies?
Yes. The different types of cookies include session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a set period of time; first-party cookies, created by the website being visited; and third-party cookies, set by external websites for tracking purposes. If you want to restrict or block the cookies that are set by this website, you can do so through your browser settings. You can visit internetcookies.com, which contains instructions on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers and devices. There you will also find useful information about cookies and details on how to delete them from your device.
What about embedded content from other websites?
Articles (“posts”) on this site may include embedded content (e.g., from YouTube and the like). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the user had visited the other website. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. To learn how to control that information and request deletion, visit the Privacy Policy of the content’s website of origin.
Fair Use
This site and the content made available through this site are for educational and informational purposes only.
The site may contain copyrighted material owned by a third party, the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. Notwithstanding a copyright owner’s rights under the Copyright Act, Section 107 of the Copyright Act allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, for purposes such as education, criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. These so-called “fair uses” are permitted even if the use of the work would otherwise be infringing.
If you wish to use copyrighted material published on this site for your own purposes that go beyond fair use, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner. I recommend that you seek the advice of legal counsel if you have any questions on this point.
If you believe that any content or postings on this site violate your intellectual property or other rights, please notify me at the address below.
