Portfolio news – August additions

Today I bought 10 Coca Cola shares (KO) , which has produced a nice dividend. And is a bit undervalued at the moment. I intend to keep it for the long run.
Tomorrow I will also add some Unilever shares (UN) depending on the way it goes. It has been a rocky road this week. For me it’s good news as I can pick up shares on a bit of a discount.

On the watch list are Glencore, Caterpillar, Disney, and Unibail-Rodamco. The first being a bit of a risk as it has been in a steady decline since they got listed on the stock exchange.
I will keep you updated.

Cookie laws and Google adsense

Since I rebooted my site I had a Google adsense banner on my site, just to see if I could get some revenue out of it. Today I removed it since Google sent me a mail stating they are actively complying with the EU cookie law. Which means I have to ask permission for the use of cookies and especially the adsense cookies. Unfortunately the laws are different from country to country. In the Netherlands, which is were I live and host this site I have to ask permission before the cookies are placed. Other country’s do not require this.

So for now, I have removed the ad and I am going to find a solution to this first before I put the ad back on my site.
