Cookies are tiny text files which are left on your computer when you surf the internet. They are generally completely harmless and contain no calories.
This website allows you to reject any non-essential cookies if you don’t want them. You can clear the essential cookies from your browser after leaving the website.
I don’t purposely track users of this website, but every plugin needed to make the site run seems to generate some kind of cookie. Why don’t they call them toffees? They’re sticky enough. I try to avoid all tracking wherever possible.
I don’t use Google analytics because I’d honestly much rather be writing more books than analysing website traffic. This website and my newsletter emails have links to my Facebook and Instagram pages. I don’t use Facebook pixels. This website uses Google fonts, BUT they’re stored locally, so they’re GDPR compliant because no information is sent to Google. Videos on the website and in newsletter emails are hosted by Vimeo and YouTube.
