Cookie Policy
I’ve been advised by my lawyer that my cookie policy could basically be “we don’t use cookies.” I don’t track anything and I don’t have social media embeds. But at the same time, I sometimes embed videos into blog posts, and the plugin I’m using can shut off that sort of functionality. I like that, so I’ve included the plugin on my page.
