In regards to Ads:

Don’t worry. I’m not really not interested in your personal information. You should know that I use third-party advertising companies (Google, etc) to serve ads when you visit my website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about having this information used by these companies, please follow this link.
It’s really fine because it shows you ads that are sometimes *actually* related to what I’m talking about. And I like that you can opt-out if you still are uncomfortable about it.
