Cookies and Similar Technologies
DaxonStone.com may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functions, remember preferences, understand website traffic, maintain security, display embedded content, measure affiliate activity, or support advertising services.
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, web beacons, and local storage.
For more information about cookies and your available choices, please read the Cookie Policy.
Analytics Services
DaxonStone.com may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics or similar tools, to understand how visitors use the website.
Analytics services may collect information about page views, referral sources, device types, browser types, general location data, link clicks, and other website interactions. This information is generally used in an aggregated form to evaluate website performance and improve the visitor experience.
Where required by applicable law, visitors will be given an opportunity to manage analytics-cookie preferences through an available cookie notice or consent tool.
Affiliate Links
Some pages and posts on DaxonStone.com may contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, you may be directed to a third-party website, such as Amazon or another retailer.
The third-party website or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies to recognize that you arrived through a qualifying affiliate link and to determine whether a purchase or other qualifying action occurred.
For additional information, please read the Affiliate Disclosure.
Advertising Services
DaxonStone.com may display advertisements supplied by third-party advertising networks or sponsors. If advertising services are enabled, these providers may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to display advertisements, measure advertising performance, limit how frequently an advertisement appears, or provide advertisements that may be more relevant to visitors.
Depending on the visitor’s location, the services in use, and the visitor’s privacy choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
The appearance of an advertisement on DaxonStone.com does not necessarily mean that Daxon Stone personally endorses the advertiser, product, service, or claim.
Embedded Content
Pages on DaxonStone.com may occasionally include embedded content from third-party websites. This may include videos, images, social-media posts, newsletter forms, retailer widgets, or other external content.
Embedded content may behave in the same way as content viewed directly on the third-party website. The third-party provider may collect information about your interaction with the content, use cookies, or apply its own tracking technologies in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Book Purchases and Retailer Links
DaxonStone.com may provide links to Amazon, booksellers, or other third-party retailers where visitors can purchase or access books.
When you complete a purchase through a third-party retailer, your transaction is processed by that retailer rather than by DaxonStone.com. The retailer may collect information such as your name, billing details, shipping details, payment information, and purchase history in accordance with its own policies.
DaxonStone.com does not directly receive or store your complete payment-card information when a purchase is made through a third-party retailer.
How Information May Be Shared
DaxonStone.com may share limited information with third parties where reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and improve the website or provide a requested service.
Third parties may include:

- newsletter and email service providers;
- contact-form providers;
- affiliate networks and retailers;

- embedded-content providers;
- professional advisers; and
- government authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law.
These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.
Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
DaxonStone.com does not sell personal information directly in exchange for money.
However, if third-party analytics, affiliate, embedded-content, or advertising services are enabled, those providers may collect information through cookies or similar technologies. Depending on the applicable privacy law, certain types of disclosure or advertising activity may be treated as “sharing,” targeted advertising, or a “sale” of personal information even when no money is exchanged directly for your personal information.
Where required by applicable law, DaxonStone.com will provide an appropriate method for visitors to manage their privacy preferences or submit an opt-out request.
Data Retention
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
The appropriate retention period may depend on the type of information involved, the reason it was collected, the services used by the website, and any applicable legal or administrative requirements.
Data Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures may be used to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
However, no website, email service, hosting provider, database, or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information through this website at your own discretion.

Do Not Track Signals and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers allow users to send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is not a single universally accepted standard governing how every website must respond to these signals.
DaxonStone.com may not respond to all browser-based Do Not Track signals. Where applicable law requires recognition of an opt-out preference signal or similar privacy control, the website will process that signal in accordance with the applicable requirements and the technical capabilities of the services in use.

DaxonStone.com is intended for adult readers and is not directed toward children under 13 years of age.
I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child under 13 has submitted personal information through this website, please contact me so that the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
External Websites
DaxonStone.com may contain links to third-party websites, retailers, platforms, and services. This Privacy Policy applies only to DaxonStone.com.
