Privacy Policy

The short version

This is a static website. There are no accounts, no logins, no newsletter, and no forms that collect personal details. We do not sell personal information. What is collected is limited to what your browser sends any website, plus what our analytics and affiliate partners observe when you click a link.

What is collected automatically

• Server and CDN logs. IP address, browser type, requested page, referring page, and timestamp. Used for security and to understand aggregate traffic. Retained for a limited period.
• Analytics. Aggregate page-view statistics — which articles are read, how visitors arrive, and which pages are slow. We use this to decide what to write and what to fix, not to identify individuals.
• Cookies. See the cookie notice for the categories used and how to control them.

What affiliate partners see

When you click an outbound link to a retailer or affiliate network, that company may set its own cookies and record the visit, the referring page, and the link that sent you. We do not control those cookies and do not receive your personal details from them — we receive aggregate commission reports at most. Their own privacy policies govern that data.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent personal information.
• We do not build advertising profiles of individual readers.
• We do not collect special-category data, and we do not ask for it.
• We do not require an email address to read anything on this site.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data concerning you, and to object to processing. Because we hold very little that is linked to an individual, the practical route is to write to [email protected] describing your request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and explain what we can and cannot do.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Data retention and security

Log data is kept only as long as needed for security and aggregate reporting. The site is served over HTTPS. We do not store payment details, because we do not process payments.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes with it. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
