Cookies
We use cookies needed to run the site and, where required, analytics cookies with your consent. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer (for example Amazon) may set its own cookies to track the purchase; these are governed by the retailer’s policy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, email, analytics), under contracts that limit how they can use it, or when required by law.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and to delete; we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Visitors in the UK and EU have rights under the GDPR. To make a request, contact us: we will answer within the time required by law.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above and use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
