Privacy Policy info

 A Privacy Policy is a legal requirement for AdSense because you are technically using cookies to track user data and show ads. Since you use Blogger and WordPress, you don't necessarily need a lawyer, but you do need a professional page that covers the basics.

You can create a new Page (not a post) titled "Privacy Policy" and use the following structure.

What to Include in Your Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

State that you value your readers' privacy.

> "At [Your Blog Name], the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information received and collected by [Your Blog Name] and how it is used."

> 

2. Log Files

This is standard for most blogs. It explains that you see basic info like what browser people use and which pages they visit.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

This is the part AdSense looks for. You must state that:

 * Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site.

 * Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet.

 * Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

4. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Mention that your privacy policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Encourage readers to consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers.

5. Children’s Information

Since you're a mom and might write about your kids (Seth, Evan, and Ava), it’s smart to add a "Children’s Information" section. This states that you do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

How to Generate One Easily

You don't have to write this from scratch! There are free tools that generate a policy for you.

 * Search for a "Free Privacy Policy Generator."

 * It will ask for your URL and if you use Google AdSense (say Yes).

 * It will email you a text block that you can copy and paste directly into a Page on your WordPress or Blogger site.

One More Important Page:

Along with the Privacy Policy, AdSense also likes to see a "Contact" page. It can be a simple form or just an email address where people can reach you. This proves to Google that you are a real person!
