Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This policy explains what information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it.
What we collect
Information you give us. If you email us or submit a form, we receive whatever you choose to send, such as your name, email address and the content of your message. We use it to reply to you and nothing else.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics record standard technical data when you visit: IP address, browser type and version, device type, pages viewed, time of visit, and the page that referred you. This is used to understand which guides are useful and to keep the site running.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies for two purposes:
- Essential. Making the site work correctly.
- Advertising and measurement. Our advertising partners may set cookies to show relevant ads and measure whether they were seen.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, but ads may become less relevant.
Advertising
We display advertising to fund our work. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and from many other vendors at aboutads.info/choices.
Affiliate relationships
Some links on this site may earn us a commission if you request a quote or make a purchase. This never changes what you pay, and it does not determine what we recommend. Where a relationship exists, we aim to say so on the page.
Analytics
We use analytics tools to count visits and understand which content is read. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
How long we keep information
Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for our records. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider’s standard retention period.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to certain processing. To make a request, email us at the address below and we’ll respond within the timeframe your local law requires.
Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have specific rights including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
If you are in the UK or EU, our legal basis for processing is legitimate interest for analytics and site operation, and consent for personalised advertising where required.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no website can guarantee absolute security.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the date at the top of this page.
