Example of Cookies NewsLeaf.com utilises:

Only the submitter’s private information such as their email address will be kept private. If one is writing under a pseudonym then the author’s name will also be kept private.

  • Contact Form – To receive communication and messages from visitors. This is private information which is not accessible to third-party organisations and/or individuals. Please note that threatening and malicious content will be reported to local enforcement agencies such as the police.
