- Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember things about you, like whether you're logged in, what's in your cart, or which pages you've visited.That's it. No magic. No surveillance state. Just small files that make websites work.

Technically yes, but the site won't work right.Session cookies, plus some lasting up to 1 year

- Purpose: see what pages people visit and where traffic comes from. We track page views and visit duration, referral sources, general location (country or region, not exact address), and device type.What we don't track: your browsing history on other sites, personal identity unless you voluntarily provide it, keystroke patterns or mouse movements, or anything invasive or creepy.Tools we use: basic analytics (likely Google Analytics or similar), no ad tracking pixels, no third-party marketing cookies.Can you disable them? Yes. Use your browser settings or opt-out tools. The site still works fine without them.Up to 2 years

- Third-party cookies
- Kit (ConvertKit) handles newsletter signups; its cookies track form attribution and subscriptions. Cal.com handles meeting bookings; its cookies manage scheduling sessions. Stripe handles secure payment processing if you become a client and pay invoices. An analytics provider sets standard analytics cookies only.I don't control third-party cookies. Each service has its own privacy policy. If you have concerns about their cookies, check their policies or disable them in your browser.
- How to control cookies
- All major browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, delete existing cookies, or get warnings before cookies are set.Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data. Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data. Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, then Cookies and website data. Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Cookies and site data.Cookie management extensions: Privacy Badger blocks tracking cookies, uBlock Origin blocks ads and trackers, Cookie AutoDelete automatically clears cookies.
- Do Not Track
- Most browsers have a Do Not Track setting. I respect it. If your browser sends a DNT signal, I honor that preference.Reality check: not all websites respect DNT. I do, but it's not legally enforceable everywhere.
- Mobile devices
- iOS (Safari): Settings, then Safari, then Block All Cookies, or customize. Android (Chrome): Chrome app, then Settings, then Site settings, then Cookies.If you're opening links from apps, those in-app browsers may have their own cookie policies. I don't control that.

Disable them if you want.
