What are cookies?
Cookies are very useful and enable a website to recognize you, provide a secure connection, and enhance your user experience by formatting content for your device’s characteristics and capabilities; they are messages from the web server (“host”) passed to your browser when you visit this site – in other words, cookies are small text files of information that are created when visiting taxpoodle.net and stored on your device by a web browser. A cookie may be sent back to the server whenever your browser requests a page.
How are cookies used?
I use cookies solely to facilitate the performance and functionality of this site, and only for the duration of your visit.
Are there different types of cookies?
Yes. The different types of cookies include session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a set period of time; first-party cookies, created by the website being visited; and third-party cookies, set by external websites for tracking purposes. If you want to restrict or block the cookies that are set by this website, you can do so through your browser settings.

What about embedded content from other websites?
Articles (“posts”) on this site may include embedded content (e.g., from YouTube and the like). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the user had visited the other website. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. To learn how to control that information and request deletion, visit the Privacy Policy of the content’s website of origin.
