A "cookie" is a small data file stored on your device. My Site may use cookies to enhance your Browse experience, remember your preferences, and collect anonymous analytics data. You can control and manage cookies through your web browser's settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of my Site.
I am committed to ensuring that your information is secure. I use trusted third-party services (like my email marketing provider) that have implemented strong security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
