3. Cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, or similar technologies. Some are essential for the site to work. Others may be used for analytics, affiliate tracking, performance measurement, or remembering privacy choices.
For readers in the UK and Europe, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should only be used where appropriate consent has been obtained. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the site's consent controls.
Blocking cookies may affect analytics, affiliate tracking, or some preference features, but the main editorial content should remain available.
4. Affiliate links and third party websites
Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link, a third party partner or affiliate network may process information about the click, referral source, transaction, or commission attribution. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, checkout flows, customer support, or data handling of third party websites. You should review the relevant partner's privacy policy before submitting personal data or making a purchase.
5. Who we may share data with
We may share limited personal data with service providers that help us operate the site, including hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers, security tools, affiliate networks, and advertising or performance measurement partners. These providers should only process data for the relevant service purpose.
We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or website security.
6. International transfers
Some service providers, affiliate networks, or analytics providers may process data outside the UK, EU, or EEA. Where this happens, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy regulations, adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms where required.
7. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Typical retention periods are:
- Contact messages: up to 24 months after the last interaction, unless a longer period is needed for a dispute or legal requirement.
- Server and security logs: usually up to 12 months, unless needed for investigation or security purposes.
- Analytics and affiliate reporting data: retained according to the settings and reporting windows of the relevant provider or affiliate network.
- Cookie consent records: retained as needed to remember and evidence your choices.
