Ability to Edit Privacy Policy
As it stands, the privacy policy that visitors to our sites see is nonsensical. Part of it is addressed by Ezoic to us and part of it is addressed by us to our visitors. But even if it weren't so confused, in privacy policies one size does not fit all. Some sites may have visitors register or subscribe to a newsletter while other sites may not ask their visitors for any information at all. The section on cookies placed by advertisers may be generally relevant, but other than that, each site might have a different need. Perhaps a variety of templates might help, but we need to be able to adapt the policy to our sites.

The problem is essentially one of audience. If you look at the first section of the statement, "we" and "you" are clearly Ezoic and the Ezoic user, not me and my users, which is nonsensical since it will be my users that will be clicking on the privacy policy to see what my site's policy is, not yours. This sentence, "Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site," will make no sense to them at all. No one is serving ads on their sites. What makes sense as your privacy policy, addressed to me, makes no sense as my privacy policy, addressed to them. Yet when they click on "Privacy Policy" on my site, they expect the latter, not the former.

Would you be able to provide more information about what portions of the privacy poilcy you think are an embarrassment? We'd love to clarify it.

The problem is not simply one of linking two privacy policies, but that the Ezoic policy is nonsensical. Some of it seems to be addressed to visitors to my site, some addressed to visitors to your site (though the link to it appears on my site and will be clicked on by my visitors, not yours). It's an embarrassment to have it on my site.

Thanks for the suggestion. You are still able to have your own privacy policy, but we obviously have certain requirements for all sites that we must adhere to. It probably makes sense that we provide a way to link the two policies together. We will discuss and try to figure out a solution.
