COOKIES - We use cookies (tiny text files that are saved on your device to remember your settings for you) to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. An example would be adding 3 different items to a shopping cart (This site doesn't have one, it's just an example), and the next time you come back to the site in a week or two and decide to check your cart, the stuff you picked is still in there and you don't need to look for your choices again. That's an example of how cookies work. I personally don't collect any data, or need to.
AFFILIATE LINKS (INFORMATION) - I also have SOME Affiliate links on the site which may earn me a few bucks from the sellers if you buy (from what I've read I could earn up to $50 a month if it's really busy - Woo Hoo! I'll be rich in no time!), but without increasing the price to you one dime. Not all of my links are Affiliate - some are just plain links because Amazon doesn't sell that other stuff. The links are to things I personally own and/or use or have used at work, OR I've seen some trustworthy video reviews and I can vouch for them that they're good. Ok No
