Cookies
I use Google Analytics to track what posts and pages are viewed when and how. These cookies do not gather any personal information about you. Nor can they be used to identify you. You can opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software, or not visit my website.
Emails sent to members of my mailing list through Mailerlite also contain cookies. These cookies let me know if you have opened an email and/or clicked a link within the email. They record your email address, IP address, the date and time you opened an email and/or clicked a link. They help me see whether an email has performed well or if I need to make some changes in the emails I send you. If you object to the use of these cookies, you must unsubscribe from my newsletter with the link provided at the bottom of it.
