Cookies & Privacy

This website is hosted on Blogger and therefore Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to "remember" you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a "session cookie") or for multiple repeat visits (using a "persistent cookie"). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as "first party cookies"), or by other websites who serve up content on that site ("third party cookies").

Cookies On This Website

 This website uses cookies for a variety of different purposes and these include those that are "strictly necessary" for technical reasons; those that enable a personalized experience for visitors; and those that interact with selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action, such as clicking a "like" button.

This website will soon be linked to Google Adsense and your personal data will be used for personalisation of ads and cookies may be used for personalised and non-personalised advertising.

Cookies are also used on this site from the tracking service Google analytics. As a result, we can keep track of the number of visits to our site. Consequently, we can see the popularity of certain posts and general information on which country is visiting the site.  The cookie holds no personal information and the collected information is anonymous.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. 

Third-Party Cookies  

This website makes use of different third party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors. These include social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (through the use of sharing buttons), or embedded content from YouTube and Vimeo.  As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies.

Controlling Cookies

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies, or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behaviour such as the length of time they are stored - either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins.

To find out more on how to manage and delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org. For more details on advertising cookies, and how to manage them, visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU based) or aboutads.info (US based). 

Please also visit this link https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites to change your browser settings for when Google uses your personal information while you visit this website. 

It's important to note that restricting or disabling the use of cookies can sometimes limit the functionality of sites, or prevent them from working correctly at all.

Product Reviews

If we get paid to review a product or piece of software, or given a product or piece of software for free in exchange for a review, we will always disclose this first and foremost. We will always give my candid, honest opinion. We will not agree to review a product/service if we are briefed on what to write beforehand.
