3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We use them for the following purposes.
Strictly necessary cookies keep the Site functioning, for example remembering your cookie preferences. These do not require consent.
Analytics cookies help us understand how the Site is used. We use Google Analytics for this. These require your consent.
Advertising cookies are used by third parties to deliver and measure advertising. These require your consent.
You can manage your preferences at any time through our cookie banner, and you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions.
4. Advertising
We may display advertising on the Site to keep our content free to read. At the time of writing we do not serve third-party advertising. This section describes how advertising works when it is present, so that you know what to expect before it appears.
Where advertising is served, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, Your Online Choices.
Third-party ad vendors that we may work with are permitted to set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and we recommend reviewing each vendor’s privacy policy.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, advertising and analytics cookies are set only after you provide consent through our cookie banner.
5. Affiliate Links and Our Own Products
Some links on the Site may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate networks and merchants may set cookies to attribute a purchase to us. At the time of writing we do not use affiliate links.
We do sell our own products, and links to them are not affiliate links. Where you buy a product from us through a third-party platform, that platform processes your data under its own privacy policy.
Affiliate relationships never determine our editorial conclusions. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
6. Third-Party Services
We rely on the following third-party services, each of which processes data under its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics for traffic analysis
- Google Search Console for search performance data
- Advertising partners, including Google, if and when advertising is served
- Hostinger for web hosting
- Our newsletter provider for delivering emails you subscribe to
- Affiliate networks, if and when affiliate links are used
Some of these providers are located outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on the safeguards those providers have in place, such as European Commission adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary:
- Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
- Email correspondence is kept for up to 24 months after our last exchange.
- Analytics data is retained according to the retention period configured in Google Analytics.
- Comments are kept for as long as the associated article remains published.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, if advertising cookies are used, that may be considered “sharing” under California law. You may opt out by adjusting your cookie preferences on this Site or by using the Global Privacy Control signal, which we honour.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
