Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 23, 2026

This page explains how cookies are used on this website, what they do, and what control you have over them. I believe in being transparent about how your data is used so you can make informed choices while you’re here.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They simply help the site recognize your browser and remember certain information—like how you interact with content or whether you’ve visited before.

How cookies are used on this site

Cookies help this site run, improve, and stay sustainable—but you’re always in control of how they’re used. Cookies are used in a few different ways to support both your experience and the functionality of the site.

Site functionality

Some cookies are essential. They allow pages to load properly, keep the site secure, and ensure that everything works the way it should. Without these, parts of the website may not function correctly.

Analytics and performance

I use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site—such as which pages are viewed, how long people stay, and what content is most helpful. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. It simply helps me make more informed decisions about what to create and improve.

Marketing and business tools

This site may use cookies connected to:

• Email marketing platforms
• Affiliate links
• Embedded content (such as social media or videos)

If you click on an affiliate link, a cookie may track that referral so I can receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Personalization

Some cookies may be used to make your experience more relevant—such as showing content or offers aligned with what you’ve interacted with previously.

Your control over cookies

You have full control over how cookies are used on your device. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored
• Delete cookies
• Block cookies entirely or selectively

Disabling cookies may affect how certain parts of the site function, but you can choose what works best for you.

Third-party cookies

Some tools used on this site (such as analytics providers or embedded platforms) may place their own cookies. While I choose tools carefully, I do not directly control these third-party cookies.
