Social Website Cookies

I have included sharing buttons on the website so you can easily “Like” or share my content on the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.

These so called “analytics” programs also tell me if , on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping me to put more money into developing my services for you instead of marketing spend.

Turning Cookies Off

It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
