Privacy policy

This policy follows UK data protection law: the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, regulated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Analytics without cookies

We use a first-party, cookieless analytics system. It records the page visited, an approximate source (search engine, AI assistant, social, referral or direct), country, device type and browser family. No cookies are set, no IP address is stored, and no third-party analytics scripts run. To count unique visitors we compute a salted hash that rotates every day and cannot be reversed to an identity. You can opt out by enabling Do Not Track in your browser.

Amazon affiliate links

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Outbound links to Amazon.co.uk carry an affiliate tag, and Amazon may set its own cookies once you arrive on its site, governed by Amazon's own privacy notice.

Advertising

We may display ads via Google AdSense, which can use cookies to serve and measure ads. You can manage ad personalisation in your Google account settings.

Hosting

The site runs on Cloudflare's edge network, which processes request metadata (such as IP address and country) to deliver and secure the site. This processing is performed by Cloudflare as our infrastructure provider.

Contact form

If you use the contact form, we store the message and any name or email you choose to provide, solely to read and reply. A salted hash is used for rate limiting and is not tied to your identity.

Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you have rights to access, rectify, erase and restrict the processing of personal data, and to complain to the ICO. Because we store no personal identifiers, we hold nothing tied to your identity to retrieve.
