Data we collect
We may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referral URL, approximate location, cookie identifiers, analytics events, and messages you send by email.
How we use data
We use data to operate the site, keep pages secure, measure aggregate readership, understand which guides are useful, respond to messages, protect the site from abuse, and manage affiliate tracking.
Lawful bases
Our lawful bases may include legitimate interests in operating and improving an editorial website, consent where required for cookies or similar technologies, legal obligations, and steps taken to respond to your request.
Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, security, affiliate attribution, and remembering basic preferences. You can control cookies in your browser settings.
Affiliate tracking
Some links may send you to merchants or affiliate networks. Those third parties may set their own cookies or record click identifiers so a commission can be attributed if you make a purchase.
Third-party websites
Merchant, affiliate network, analytics, hosting, email, and security providers may process data under their own policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
Sharing and sale
We do not sell personal information from this website. We may share limited data with service providers, analytics providers, affiliate networks, professional advisers, or authorities where required by law.
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK, EU, or EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections or adequacy decisions.
Retention
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and maintain records. Analytics and security logs are kept for limited operational periods unless a longer period is needed for legal or security reasons.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, port data, or withdraw consent. You can contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.
Complaints and updates
UK visitors can contact the ICO, and EU/EEA visitors can contact their local supervisory authority. We may update this policy when our site, providers, or legal duties change.
Children and security
This site is not aimed at children. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information we process.
