Privacy Policy: what changed
AI summary
AI-written reading aid: changes between these versions. The linked published versions are the authoritative text.
- Adds optional Google reader prompts on blog articles only, under their own default-off consent choice; analytics or advertising choices do not enable them, and Global Privacy Control keeps all optional purposes off.
- Discloses that the reader service runs its own usage measurement and may use cookies or similar storage; Google newsletter signup is separate from loading it and shares only information you agree to with Namegarage.
- Corrects the statement that no banner appears outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland: Google Analytics still runs there without asking, but blog articles may ask for the Reader prompts choice.
- Adds the reader preference to browser storage, lets you withdraw reader-prompt consent in Cookie settings, and notes a reload removes the service.

Google reader prompts
Our blog can show optional newsletter prompts through Google Reader Revenue Manager. The Reader prompts choice in Cookie settings controls this service. It starts only after you turn that choice on, and Global Privacy Control keeps it off. Your earlier analytics or advertising choice does not turn it on.
We rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for this service and its measurement.
When the reader service loads, your browser contacts Google. The service runs its own usage measurement and may use cookies or similar storage. If you choose to sign up, Google asks for your email address and, if requested, your name. Google sends the information you agree to share to Namegarage. The prompt explains that transfer before you continue. Signing up is separate from allowing the reader service to load.
You can turn off Reader prompts in Cookie settings. A reload removes the service from the current page. Google controls its service records and retention; contact us at the address in Section 1 about information held by Namegarage. See Google's Privacy Policy [https://policies.google.com/privacy] and Google's reader-service terms [https://news.google.com/swg/legaldocs/tos/swgtos.html].
Google — analytics, advertising, and advertisingoptional reader prompts, described in the next section.
Reader prompts have their own, default-off choice. Turning on Analytics or Advertising does not enable Reader prompts. The reader service runs only on blog articles, never on domain-sale pages, checkout pages or podcast pages.
Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the controls. Outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland no banner appears, andGoogle Analytics runs without asking; Cookie settings is where you turn Google Analyticsit off. Blog articles may still ask for the separate Reader prompts choice. Turning off a loaded purpose requires a reload to remove its scripts; the page warns before reloading if it contains entered form data. Finish or copy unsent entries first. Global Privacy Control overrideskeeps bothall optional purposes to off. An old combined acceptance requires a new choice; an old refusal remains a refusal.

Wherever you live, you may ask us to show you the personal data we hold about you, correct it, ask us to delete it, or send it to you in a portable form. We assess erasure requests against ongoing obligations, documented financial and agreement purposes, and holds described in Section 5. We retain the permanent promotional suppression record to honor your opt-out, the record of a blocked address, and a withdrawn consent record, which is kept in reduced form, as Section 5 explains. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests — including the request record, the email engagement record, the phone lookup result, the offers we start, Cloudflare's page measurement, which a Global Privacy Control signal stops, and Google Analytics where it runs without asking, which Cookie settings or a Global Privacy Control signal turns off — and you may withdraw consent to deal subscriptions, to deals and news from the contact form, and to analytics, advertising and advertisingreader prompts without giving a reason and without affecting anything you have already done on the site.
