COOKIES AND TRACKING

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies, so there is nothing to accept or decline.

ON YOUR DEVICE

Your shopping cart, and whether you have unlocked a password-protected page, are remembered in your own browser so they survive a page refresh. They are used only to make the site work.

VISITOR STATISTICS

We count page visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not identify you. It tells us which pages are popular and what kinds of devices visit, not who you are.

NO ADVERTISING

We do not show ads, and we do not use cookies to follow you to other websites.

OTHER COMPANIES' COOKIES

A few parts of our website come from other companies. They may set their own cookies, under their own privacy policies:

•YouTube videos are shown in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, so YouTube does not set cookies until you press play.
•Payments and donations take you to Stripe's secure payment page, which uses its own cookies to process your payment and prevent fraud.
•Google Forms power some forms shown on our pages, such as the Team Manager of the Year nomination.

You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser's settings. Our pages will still work, though a video or payment page may ask you to allow them.

DATA SECURITY

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will post the new Privacy Policy on this page with a notice that it has been updated.

The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for periodically visiting our website and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
