Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy explains how KilroyOnMars.com gathers and uses Users data when they visit KilroyOnMars.com. Learn more about Web Analytics & Privacy.

First and foremost, this site is not a commercial site. Setting aside the more official verbiage below, any information gathered here is used to provide me context on how the site is being used and whether the articles are having the intended result. Ads served are minimal/non-existant and can be blocked by the use of ad blockers. Hopefully, you will not find that necessary, but that is your choice. I personally use them in my browsers because many sites go overboard on tracking and have massive numbers of intrusive ads. Do consider whitelisting KilroyOnMars.com.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, KilroyOnMars.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. This website uses Google Analytics (off and on, currently off and the open source platform Piwik now called Matomo (on our own server) to help us analyze this data. KilroyOnMars.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how KilroyOnMars.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, KilroyOnMars.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

KilroyOnMars.com also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. KilroyOnMars.com does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally identifying information, as described below. This is used to help evaluate visits to the site that may be from malicious actors. Sadly, that is entirely too common.
