Privacy

We don’t use cookies, analytics services or advertising trackers. We count clicks and page views on our own server without collecting personal data, and we only hold your details if you email us.

What we collect

  • No cookies. This site sets no cookies for visitors and loads no third-party analytics or advertising scripts.
  • No forms or sign-ups. There is no account, newsletter, quote form or alert sign-up on this site.
  • Click and page counts. When you click a retailer link or view a page, our own server adds one to a counter for that page, product and retailer. We don’t record your IP address, a device ID or anything else that identifies you.
  • Server logs. Our host keeps standard access logs (including IP addresses) for security for [number] days. [Hosting provider, country].
  • Emails you send us. Your address and message, kept only as long as we need to reply.

When you click through to a retailer

Retailer links take you to the retailer’s own site. If the link is an affiliate link, the retailer or its affiliate network may set its own cookies to credit the sale to us. Their privacy policies apply from that point. Today none of our links are affiliate links (see our affiliate disclosure).
