So, every web site has to have policies. Disqus wants you to have a comment policy. Everyone wants you to have a privacy policy. Basically, it's all because of lawyers. Lawyers are the modern ruiners of civilization. They suck the life out of everything. So I have policies to make them happy, in exchange for piece of my soul. And here the policies are...
TL;DR: Basically, if you make a comment in the comments section, or email me with a comment about anything on the site, I reserve the right to write an entire article that makes fun of you, and invite other people to point at you and laugh.

TL;DR: I don't collect any information about you, because I really don't give a shit who you are. Since I don't do that, I have no information about you to sell to advertisers. Though, I kinda wish I did, 'cause I hear there's good money in that. Still, if the cops serve a warrant on me, I'll give them anything I have, 'cause I ain't going jail for you. If you have trouble with the cops, that's on you. Also, if you steal any of my shit, I'll tell anyone anything I have to, to track you down and sue your ass for copyright violation.

TL;DR: It's 2017. Every web site collects cookies. Calm down with the paranoia, there, Alex Jones.
Some of the The Dale Franks Web Site pages may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server.
