What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how I use them, the types of cookies I use (i.e., the information I collect using cookies and how that information is used), and how to manage your cookie settings.
Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. These cookies help ensure that the website functions properly, enhance security, provide a better user experience, and analyse performance to identify what works and where improvements are needed.
How do I use cookies?
Like most websites, I use both first-party and third-party cookies:
First-party cookies: These are set by this website and are mostly essential for it to work properly. They do not collect personally identifiable information.
Third-party cookies: These come from services I use, such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense. They help me understand how the site is used, deliver relevant ads, and improve performance.
Types of cookies I use:
Necessary Cookies
