Use Of Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that Rolf-Hefti.com stores on your computer, which your browser provides to Rolf-Hefti.com each time you return to the site. Rolf-Hefti.com uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their use of the website, and their website access preferences.

Importantly, cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable Rolf-Hefti.com's systems to recognize YOUR BROWSER (and NOT to identify personal information about you).

Refusing Cookies

You can set your browser to accept or refuse all cookies automatically, or notify you when a cookie is being requested. Taking this action should not cause a problem with the continued use of this site. Consult the 'Help' section of your browser for guidance on how to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is requested.

If you choose to refuse Rolf-Hefti.com's cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the site.

Affiliate Products & Services

Currently, I potentially receive an affiliate commission for one product inconspicuously linked to at Rolf-Hefti.com.

That link earns me commissions if you purchase a product, at no extra cost to you.

Since you can't save any money –and I only affiliate with products or services that I honestly believe are potentially of great value to you, first and foremost– I have no problem adding my affiliate link(s).

The affiliate service platform I use is SiteSell.

By clicking on a product or service link, you consent to that platform's use of cookies, as outlined in the link below:
