Privacy policy
1. The short version
This site has no tracking scripts, no advertising cookies, no reader accounts and no marketing profiles. It is plain HTML served from Cloudflare's edge. There is very little to describe, which is the point.
2. What is collected
- Standard request data — IP address, user agent, requested URL and response code — passes through Cloudflare as part of serving any web page. It is used for delivery, security and abuse prevention, and retained on Cloudflare's standard schedule.
- Affiliate click counts — when a commercial link is followed, our server records the link identifier and the country the request came from, so we can tell which pages send readers where and enforce regional restrictions. No IP address, no user agent, no cross-site identifier is stored with it.
- Emails you send us — if you write to one of the addresses on the contact page, that message is kept so we can reply and, where relevant, investigate the issue.
3. What is not collected
- No analytics or advertising scripts, and therefore no third-party cookies.
- No fingerprinting, no session recording, no heatmaps.
- No reader accounts, no email list, no data sold or shared with brokers.
4. Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own, which is why there is no cookie banner. Cloudflare may set strictly functional cookies at the network layer for security and routing; those are not used to identify you across sites.
5. Following an outbound link
When you click through to a vendor, you leave this site and the vendor's own privacy policy and cookie practices apply. That is true of every outbound link here, commercial or not.
6. Your rights
Under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA and PIPEDA you have rights of access, correction and erasure over personal data held about you. In practice this site holds almost none — no profiles, no accounts, no purchase records. If you want to ask what exists, or to have an email deleted, write to the contact desk.
7. Changes to this policy
If the way the site handles data changes, this page changes with it and the date above is updated. We do not backdate edits.
