YOUR CONSENT

By using our site, you consent to our privacy policy without modification and acknowledge reading it.

I sometimes do promotional posts (with a disclaimer) to cover the running cost of this blog – hosting, domain, etc. But you can be sure I wouldn’t rave a product because I got paid for it. How I feel about a product is what exactly you will know through my words.
