Log Data
Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site (“Log Data”).
This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.
Cookies
Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer or mobile device.
Like many sites, we use “cookies” to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our site.
Certain pages on our site may set other third party cookies. For example, we may embed content, such as videos, from another site that sets a cookie. While we try to minimize these third party cookies, we can’t always control what cookies this third party content sets.
Additionally, we may use third party services — such as those that provide social media conveniences, measure traffic, send newsletters and facilitate donations — that may place cookies on your computer. We don’t have any way of knowing how such services handle the resulting data internally. Red Dress media Inc. and VernonReporter.Com makes no claim, nor takes liability for the insecure submission of information via these applications.
Here are some of the services whose cookies you can find on VernonReporter.Com
- Sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. These use the standard scripts provided by each company.
- Google Analytics and Jetpack Stats which we use to measure site traffic. These services gather certain non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, time stamp, and similar data.
- Stripe, which allows us to accept donations through our website.
- MailPoet to manage newsletter subscriber, donor, other identifiable user data and to manage newsletter distributions.
- PayPal to manage donations or product sales

The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure.
