Since my privacy is important to me, I completely understand that your privacy is important to you.

This will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with me. WeirdIndeed.com (and I) strive to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all our operations. Likewise, I am dedicated to protecting our customers' and online visitors' privacy on our website.

I use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on my website. These companies use cookies and web beacons in their ads to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement.
