Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. They help websites work correctly and can contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and a website’s domain name. Cookies may be either first-party cookies, which are set by my website, or third-party cookies, which are set by external service providers (such as Google Analytics).
Cookies can be categorized as essential (or strictly necessary), functional, analytics (or statistics), and marketing. They can be used for many purposes including maintaining a website visitor’s session, remembering user preferences, collecting data for analytics, tracking user behaviour, advertising, and providing a personalized user experience.
Why does my website use cookies?
My website uses cookies to enable essential website functionality (such as storing a user’s cookie consent preferences) and for the collection of anonymous statistical data (e.g., number of new and returning users, visitor’s country and city, pages viewed). This is done strictly for the purpose of analyzing website traffic and performance, helping me gauge user interest, and improving my site content.
My site does not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or personalization of site content, nor does it collect any personally identifiable information except for that voluntarily provided by users via my Contact page.
What is cookie consent?
Cookie consent is the process of giving visitors to a website the choice of whether or not to allow non-essential cookies to be stored on their device. By clicking on ‘Accept’, you consent to my use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.
Many countries have enacted strict laws requiring websites to first obtain users’ explicit permission before using cookies to track user behaviour or process personal information. Examples of current data privacy laws include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU/EEA/UK; California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the US; and the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada. The GDPR applies to both business and personal websites that collect data from EU/EEA/UK users.
Your cookie consent preferences for my website can be changed at any time by clicking on the cookie icon near the bottom of every page.
For how long do cookies remain active?
Session cookies expire when the website user closes their browser. Persistant cookies remain active for a defined period, as indicated in the list below.
