Here are the cookie types used by melissacmark.com:
- Affiliate links: This site may use affiliate links from time to time. When we do, this means we may earn a commission/referral fee if visitors make purchases through these links; this would occur at no additional cost to site visitors. Cookies generated by affiliate links help ensure your purchase is credited to Melissa C Mark LLC.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

If you contact us via the forms on our website, we will collect and store personal information including, but not limited to: name, email address, website address, browser information and IP address. This information will not be sold to other parties.

That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. We don’t share any personal information, and we don’t have any of those sorts of relationships. So, if you are from California, you are welcome to ask, but there’s nothing to tell.
