This statement describes how DIYROMANCE.COM, located at https://diyromance.com/, processes and uses cookies.
Introduction
Similar to other websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below: “What Are Cookies?”) and web server log files (see our Privacy Policy: “What Are Log Files?”) to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server log files may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, the time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and just after visiting our website.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy, your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites.
Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is likely that some areas of our site will not function as effectively when viewed by such users; and for that reason we do not recommend the rejection of cookies.
A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, or pass on computer viruses.

This helps us gather feedback about our website, and allows us to improve it, and to serve our clients better and more effectively.
