Cookies
This site stores “convenience” cookies on your computer when you leave a comment. The cookies record the name, email address, and URL that you enter when you submit a comment so that you won’t have to re-enter that information next time you leave a comment.

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so in your web browser’s settings or review Google Analytics’ privacy policy at its site.
Affiliate Programs
A Clean Plate is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising feed by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and other third-party affiliate marketing networks (such as Real Plans and other bloggers’ digital products, which A Clean Plate also participates in) use cookies and/or web beacons to track commissions acleanplate.com earns when you purchase a product marketed through their site. Each program has their own privacy policy which can be reviewed at their respective sites.
Comments and Newsletter
Users may choose to receive e-mail blog updates via MailPoet by submitting a name and e-mail address to the email subscription form. I use a secure opt-in subscription system and subscribers may unsubscribe anytime via the “Unsubscribe” link contained at the bottom of every e-mail. When leaving a comment, users must submit a name and e-mail address. To combat spam, the WordPress blogging platform also records the IP address of anyone submitting a comment.
