Your use of cjleo.com constitutes an acceptance of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use as outlined below, including any changes that occur to them by updates to this website. We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.

Analytics

Log files

Like many other websites, we use log files for the purpose of analytics. The information collected in the log files is not linked to any personally identifiable information, and includes:

IP addresses
ISPs
Pages visited, referring and exit pages
Date, time and session length
Number of clicks

Google Analytics

We also use Google Analytics to gather statistics, and to track and report website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of this website, and may share the data with other Google services and use it to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You may opt out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from Google. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your activity on websites you visit. For more information, you may view Google’s privacy policy.

Social sharing

We use plugins for social sharing that send requests to third party APIs via your web browser to fetch information such as comment count or social shares. This request made by web browser may contain the user’s IP address, which can then be seen by the third-party API. The API request is not linked to any personally identifiable information and does not include any personal data of the website user other than the IP address.

Cookies

We use cookies to store information about visitor preferences and page views in order to provide a customized experience. We do use third-party vendors to serve advertisements, but have no access or control over third-party cookies. If you wish to opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising, you may do so by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Google AdSense

Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visit to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visit to this website and other websites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of Google’s personalized advertising by visiting Google’s ads settings.

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through changing your web browser options. Instructions on how to do this can be found from your browser manufacturer. Here are links to cookie management tools for some common browsers:
