Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain language, what information The Reader’s Index collects and how cookies and third-party advertising are used. It is kept short on purpose.

The short version

The only way to share information with the site operator is by sending an email, as described on the contact page. Anything you choose to include in an email is used solely to read and respond to your message. It is not added to a marketing list or shared with third parties.

Third-party advertising

This site displays ads served by third-party advertising services, which may include Google advertising products. These services use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

This site has no control over, and is not responsible for, the content or privacy practices of those external services.
