Dockside Boat Works only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators on the post where the comment was left.

Cookies
A “cookie” is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Dockside Boat Works uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the Dockside Boat Works website, and their website access preferences. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
Pixels
“Pixels” are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track the online movements of web users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a computer’s hard drive, pixels are small graphics that are about the size of the period at the end of the sentence that are embedded invisibly on web pages or in HTML-based emails. Our third-party analytics providers may place pixels on the website that track what other websites you visit (both before and after visiting the site). Our third-party analytics providers use information obtained from pixels to help us improve our website. We do not control the use of pixels by third parties.
Third Party Analytics Providers
We use third parties to help us operate and improve the Site. In doing so, we may share with these third parties non-personally identifiable information about users’ use of the Service. These third party providers also use cookies. We use third party analytics providers, such as Word Fence for site security and Statcounter to provide us with general demographic and interest-level information about our users to help create a better user experience. We do not control information collected by third parties and are not responsible for their use of that information.
Comments
Comments and other content submitted to anti-spam services are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.
Do Not Track
Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
