How cookies are used:

• A cookie is a small file that a site transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser. The cookie files help the site analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes, and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
• This website uses traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps WordPress and me analyze data about web page traffic and improve this website in order to tailor it to customer needs. WordPress and I only use this information for statistical analysis purposes.
• Overall, cookies help WordPress and me provide you with a better website by enabling the monitoring of which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives WordPress or me access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share.
• You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.

 

Third-party links

Sometimes I will include third-party links through my newsletter or on this website. These other sites have their own policies and you should read those before subscribing or purchasing from them.

 

Controlling your personal information:

• I will never sell, distribute, or lease your personal information to third parties unless it is required by law to do so.
• You can unsubscribe from my newsletter by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom of any of the newsletters you have received or by emailing me using the address on my Contact page.
