What this site stores

There are no accounts and no mailing list here. You are not asked for a name, email address, or payment details.

  • Visit counter. The home page keeps a running total of visits. That number is stored on the server as a count for the page. It is not tied to you, your device, or an IP address.
  • On your device. If you bookmark income streams or sketch a mix, those choices are saved in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device. Clearing site data in the browser removes them.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site uses Google AdSense to show ads. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure them, and — where allowed — personalise them. Google is an independent controller of the data it collects for that purpose.

You can review Google’s advertising and cookie settings at adssettings.google.com and read Google’s privacy policy.

Amazon affiliate links

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Links to Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com on the writing guides page include an affiliate tag. If you follow one, Amazon may set cookies so a purchase can be attributed. Amazon’s own privacy policy applies to that visit.

Other third parties

  • Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Google may see the request for those files.
  • Share buttons open X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or your email app. Those services only receive the page address if you choose to share.
  • Links to stewartferris.com and other external sites are not covered by this policy.
