Privacy
All of DES websites use an integrated version of Google Analytics to track the number of visitors our websites have. Google Analytics uses Cookies and certain DoubleClick and Google advertising services (“Google Analytics Advertising Features”) to track site visitor’ viewing behavior. Google does not, however, provide us with any individual indentifying information, such as a site visitor’s name, email address, mailing address, billing information, or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information. You can read more about how Google uses data when you use partner sites or apps by visiting Google directly. By browsing, reading, and using DES websites, you consent to the storing and accessing of cookies or other information on your electronic device where such activity occurs in connection with the Service. Visitors can opt-out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features by adjusting your Ads Settings or Ad Settings for mobile apps on your personal electronic device.

Advertising and Sponsorship
DES may accept advertising and sponsorship from companies, nonprofits, and businesses we believe provide a valuable educational-related product or service to families and professionals. Paid advertisements will be found and identified as either “sponsor” or “advertiser”.
Reviews
DES does not receive, accept, or solicit Compensated Reviews, in which a company sends a product, service, or website along with financial compensation in exchange for a product review. As a general rule, DES firmly believes that Compensated Reviews are neither fair nor objective sources of information to readers. As such, we have chosen not to publish any Compensated Reviews.
DES may receive sample copies of educational material, such as books and access to premium websites, at no cost, for the purpose of an objective evaluation and review. No financial compensation is received for writing or posting the review. A notice will be included at the end of the review when a sample copy was received.
DES also conducts reviews of educational material, such as books and premium websites, through the direct personal purchase of such products. In this case, no financial compensation has been received, nor has any free copies of material been received.
Affiliate Links
DES participates in affiliate programs. We post links to books and other products that we believe are relevant to our blog posts. When you click the affiliate link and purchase the product, we receive a nominal commission from that purchase. Affiliate Programs do not report any identifying information about you or your purchase to us. As of November 1, 2015, our affiliate programs include Amazon, Goodle Adsense, Grammarly, Reading Eggs, Rocket Languages, Scholastic Books, an Zoobooks. At our discretion, DES may include additional affiliate programs to our family of websites in the future.
Blog posts that contain affiliate links do not intend to suggest the affiliate or affiliate’s featured product condones, sponsors, promotes, or agrees with the views and opinions expressed in the DES blog. Specific product claims, statistics, quotes, or other representations about the affiliate’s product or service should be verified by the reader with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
