Wizcrafts privacy policy and technical details:
We respect the privacy of our visitors and do not personally share or sell any information about them with anyone.
We do NOT use any hostile applets, or hostile scripts, or spy on our visitors.
To help finance our web hosting costs we use third-party advertising companies to serve text and banner ads when you visit our website. These companies may use general information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Those companies have their own privacy policies as stated on their respective websites.
Amazon, Google and other affiliate programs often use 1x1 pixel tracking gifs (invisible images, so-called web-bugs, or web beacons), and cookies with their text and banner ads for the purpose of keeping track of sales or trial download transactions. This is done so that Wizcrafts is credited for commissions on purchases made by clicking on an ad on our website. The sponsors' websites may also deposit a "cookie" on your hard drive, which is used to keep track of trial downloads or purchases, and is used to credit commissions for followup sales that occur after the initial download is made.
About "cookies":
A "cookie" is a harmless text file, which is deposited onto your hard drive by various commercial, educational, or membership websites. They contain encoded information pertaining to your visit to a particular website, including downloads or purchases you make there, ads you click on (for their commissions), or particular product or subject pages you visit / revisit. Cookies can also be used to save login information so you don't have to type in a username and password each time you revisit a site that requires members to login, or to display an ad for a product that you previously read about. Cookies are important tools for conducting business on the Web, especially when used to keep track of trial software downloads which may turn into purchases in 30 days or so. A cookie that tracks trial software from a referrer is used to credit the account of the referrer (like us!) if a license is purchased at the end of the trial period. Cookies are only readable by the website that sets them on your computer, and other websites cannot read cookies they didn't place on your hard drive. Because they are merely text files you can read your cookies in any text reader (ex: Notepad) you have on your computer. Note that most cookies are encrypted for security purposes.

We have chosen our commercial sponsors on the basis of their usefulness and value to our customers, and we would be pleased if you choose to make a purchase through a banner, or text link displayed on our website. And yes, we do earn commissions on sales made through clicks on our affiliate links.

Technologies employed in our website:
Our website is written in modern responsive layout using CSS3 (Cascading Stylesheets; used for positioning of elements) and HTML5. Some older browsers, especially Internet Explorer versions 8 and under, do not understand this modern coding and may not display navigation menus and our general layout correctly. We have verified that our pages and layouts display properly in Internet Explorer 11 (now deprecated), Microsoft Edge, and especially the most current versions of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Some of our pages make use of JavaScript to display some normally hidden text content (click here to see how this works). Hello World! JavaScript is used to control our site navigation menu on smart phones and small tablets. We also use it to validate input typed into our contact forms. If you visit our website with JavaScript disabled these important features will not work in your browser.
Our web pages use "ALT" image-descriptions for text readers for the sight-impaired, PDA's or non-graphical browsers. Any unlabeled graphics are either invisible spacers or compensation tracking gifs.
Most of our text sizes are relative, not fixed, and allow you to choose whatever size is comfortable for your viewing. Our few preset text size controls can be overwritten by most browsers via a checkbox to ignore a website's stylesheets, or to use your own stylesheet, should you write one. These are usually found in the "Accessibility" section of your Internet Options on your browser. You can also vary the overall text sizes by using the Text Size formatting controls on your browser. In Internet Explorer this is under the "View" menu item. In Mozilla browsers press CTRL + or CTRL - to increase or decrease font sizes.
Get Firefox, a free, state-of-the-art, modern standards compliant, secure web browser, with tabbed browsing and numerous add-ons and plug-ins to extend its usefulness. Firefox is regularly updated to respond to security issues and new web technologies. It is used by web developers and Webmasters around the World.

If you have received spam email that lists a "From:" or "Reply To:" address on our Domain, rest assured that this is a "Joe Job," which did not originate with us at all.
A "Joe-Job" refers to a dispicable practice used by some spammers, who forge the headers of an email to list an innocent party's email address, in the From: and/or Reply To: fields. Angry recipients of the spam will blame and possibly report the wrong person, because they have not learned to decipher email headers to find the real source of the spam. Hide explanation

Our contact information is NOT intended for use by Internet email marketers, or harvesters, or Telemarketers to use to send us unsolicited advertising, whether in the form of mail, phone calls, or email (aka: spam).
