Privacy Policy
Short version: we run analytics only if you accept, we set one cookie to remember that choice, and we never sell data.
What we collect
If you accept analytics, we use Google Analytics 4 to count page views, scroll depth, which buttons are seen and clicked, and which links to retailers are followed. IP addresses are anonymised, Google Signals is off and no advertising features are enabled. We never send names, email addresses or anything you type to analytics.
If you decline, Google Analytics is told that storage is denied. It then sets no cookies and sends only cookieless, aggregated pings that Google documents as part of Consent Mode.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| consent_v1 | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics | 180 days |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics visitor and session identifiers (only after you accept) | Up to 2 years, set by Google |
Retention
Analytics event data is retained in Google Analytics for 14 months, the setting we apply in the GA4 property, and then deleted automatically.
Affiliate links
When you click a link to a retailer, the retailer or its affiliate network receives the page and button identifier so it can attribute a sale to us. Their own privacy policies govern what they collect once you are on their site.
Withdrawing consent
You can change your choice at any time with the link, also found in the footer of every page. Declining after accepting stops further analytics storage; you can clear existing cookies in your browser settings.
