A cookie is used to store data on a computer’s hard drive. Almost all websites utilize cookies to one extent or another. Some of our web-based tools may utilize cookies.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

Contact forms

The contact form asks for voluntary information such as your first and last name and email so that I can contact you if requested. I don’t sell any of this information and only created the contact form so people who want to can reach out to me.

How long we retain your data
