The Iron Mule: June 2015

A warning for our visitors from the E.U.

I recently signed into my Blogger dashboard to find a message from Google about European Union laws requiring websites to notify visitors about cookies that might be placed on their device by visiting the sight. While I dislike the idea of being databased by corporate Big Brother as much as anyone, quite frankly I had never considered cookies to be a big issue; just another of life's minor irritations to be deleted and go on about your business. Seems the E.U. moguls see it differently. Therefore be advised, there may be a Cookie Monster lurking on this blog. While I would never knowingly attach a cookie to your device ( for starters I don't know how to do it ) I have no control over Google or other parties who use them. If you have an inordinate fear of cookies I would advise you to visit Google to learn about their policies on this issue or failing that simply don't visit this site or any other website in the United States because you are certain to collect cookies if you do.
