Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and help site owners understand how visitors use their site.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They store only small amounts of text, and most expire automatically after a set period.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly and securely, to remember your cookie consent preferences, to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it, and to support affiliate link tracking when you click through to recommended products or services.
We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your knowledge. We do not sell cookie data to third parties.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be used to identify you.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your cookie consent preferences, to provide a more consistent experience on return visits.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site: which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. This helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics cookies are only set after you have given your consent via our cookie banner.
Affiliate and marketing cookies
When you click an affiliate link on our site, cookies may be set by the affiliate network (such as Awin) to track whether a purchase is made. This is how we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These cookies are set by third-party networks, not directly by us.
