Privacy policy

Nothing that identifies you. There is no sign-up, no login, no contact form and no mailing list on this site, so there is no personal data for us to store.

Our server keeps standard web server logs, which include the requested address, the time of the request, the browser identification string and a truncated network address. These are used to keep the site running and to see which pages are being read. They are not used to build a profile of a visitor and they are not sold.

The site itself sets no cookies. It has nothing to remember about a visitor between visits.

This site is funded by advertising. Advertising is served by third-party networks, and those networks may set cookies or use similar technologies in your browser to select and measure the advertisements you see. This happens under the advertising network's own privacy policy, not ours, and we do not receive the data they collect.

Google, if used as an advertising vendor, uses cookies to serve advertisements based on prior visits to this and other websites. Advertising personalisation can be turned off in Google Ads Settings, and third-party vendor cookies can generally be managed in your browser settings.

If we use a traffic measurement tool, it is configured not to collect personally identifying information and not to share data for advertising purposes. What we want to know is which pages are read, not who read them.

This is worth stating plainly on a site about medication: we do not ask what you are looking for, we do not ask what you take, and we have no way to associate any page view with a person. Reading a page here creates no health record anywhere in our systems.

Pages here link to DailyMed and to the FDA. Those are US government sites with their own privacy policies. We do not control them and we receive nothing back when you follow a link.

If this policy changes, the date at the bottom of this page changes with it. If a change means we start collecting something we did not collect before, it will be described here in plain terms rather than buried.
