We're glad you're here at Pine, we really are. We just want to make sure we're on the same page. For instance, we would never give anyone else your email address. To be honest, we're not so fancy that people to offer to buy our list but you know what? Even if they did, we wouldn't give it to them. Email's annoying enough as it is without us causing you spam.

Every time you come to pine-magazine.com, our servers take in some basic information, such as the domain name from where you've come.

We also count, track and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of general traffic at our sites. Sometimes we share this info with advertisers but never in a way they'd know who you were.

And like with other site, we use cookies, or a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies are only assigned to machines – not people – so noone will really know your identity.

We use cookies in as a means to use advertisements, to see which browsers visit us and to see where you go on the site. And people who advertise on us use cookies, though we have no control over that.

And of course we want to hear from you, even if it is hate mail (which can be sorta fun). Check out contact page for a way to relay your comments, questions, concerns and disdain (or love).

In return, though, we'd like it if you didn't take articles on our site without notifying us. We're usually a-okay with your reposting most anything but we ask for that choice.

Past that, we're good.
