3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use Google Analytics to better understand how our visitors use the site. This may involve collecting non-personally identifiable information such as pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, and geographic location.
Cookies may be stored on your browser to support these analytics functions. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
We use a cookie consent tool to notify users about our use of cookies and give the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
4. Affiliate Links
This website may contain affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through those links, at no extra cost to you. These links help support the blog.
5. Advertising and Remarketing
We may work with third-party advertising partners who use cookies or similar tracking technologies to deliver personalised ads based on your browsing activity. This includes Google Ads remarketing, which allows us to show tailored ads to users who have previously visited our site on other websites.
We also use Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reporting, which collects anonymised data such as age range, gender, and interests to better understand our audience.

7. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss of your personal information. However, no online transmission or storage system is 100% secure.
We do not collect or store payment details, as we do not currently offer any paid products or services.
