Cookies and Analytics

This site uses a small number of cookies. Necessary cookies keep the site secure and support forms and spam protection. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics 4 help me see which pages people read. I do not use advertising cookies and I do not retarget visitors on other sites.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. Blocking necessary cookies may stop forms from working. Google explains how it handles data in its partner sites policy.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
This site does not track you across other websites, so a Do Not Track signal does not change how it works. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, I treat it as a request to opt out of sale or sharing, which I do not do anyway.
Security, Children and Transfers
Security
The site uses HTTPS, strong passwords and limited access. No system is perfectly secure, so I cannot promise absolute protection.
Children
This site is for business visitors and is not directed at children under 16. I do not knowingly collect their information.
Transfers
I am based in the United States and my providers mainly process data there. Some may process it in other countries under their own safeguards.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to other websites such as my LinkedIn profile and Google. They have their own privacy policies: LinkedIn privacy policy and Google privacy policy. I am not responsible for their practices.
