Cookies
This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website.

Google Analytics
_ga and _gid cookies are used by Google Analytics with the purpose of determining if two hits belong to the same user or if they are unique. These cookies give the user a unique identifier that collects no personal information.
Social Media
__atuvc and __atuvs cookies are used for the social media plug ins used on this site. They show updated social media counts if the user shared a post and the website cache hasn’t yet been updated. They also allow the user to share posts from this website easily if they so desire.
Forms
_wpfuuid is a cookie created by the plugin used to create forms on this site. It saves information filled out (which will often be multiple choice) in the forms. The cookie assigns a universally unique identifier to place all forms filled out by one user under that same user. No personal information will be stored because these forms will never ask for any personal information. They are completely anonymous.
MailerLite
