This policy explains what happens to information when you visit this site. It is written to be read, not to be skipped.

What we collect directly

Nothing that identifies you. This site has no accounts, no login, no comment system, and no contact form that stores data on our servers. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal detail.

Server logs

Like virtually every website, our hosting provider records standard request data — IP address, browser user agent, the page requested, and a timestamp. This is used for security and to keep the site online, and it is retained for a short period by the hosting provider.

Advertising

This site is supported by advertising. Advertisements are served by third-party ad networks, and those networks may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance and to limit how often you see the same ad.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this 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/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Where required by law, you will be asked for consent before non-essential advertising cookies are set, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Analytics

We measure aggregate traffic — page views, referrers, and country — to understand which guides are useful. This data is reported to us in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data relating to you, and to object to certain processing. Because we do not hold personal data about you directly, requests of this kind are usually best directed to the advertising or analytics providers named above. If you are unsure who to contact, write to us via the contact page and we will point you in the right direction.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change with it. Material changes will be reflected here rather than announced elsewhere.
