Information we collect

Information you give us

Contact form: your name, email address and message, so we can reply to you.
Newsletter: your email address, if you subscribe.

Information collected automatically

Server and security logs: our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Analytics: if you allow it, Google Analytics collects information about how you use the site, such as pages visited, time on page, approximate location (city level), device and browser type.
Advertising: if advertising is active, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and measure their performance, as described below.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to show advertising. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. 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.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's My Ad Center.
You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info, or, in Europe, at www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent through a consent message before personalised ads or analytics cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time using the "Privacy and cookie settings" link in the site footer.

Why we use your information (legal bases)

To reply to you and send the newsletter: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
To run and secure the website: our legitimate interest in providing a reliable, safe service.
Analytics and personalised advertising: your consent where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and UK); otherwise our legitimate interest in funding the site and understanding which articles are useful.

Who we share information with

We don't sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site:

Cloudflare (hosting, security, and form handling),
Google (Analytics, AdSense and consent management),
the messaging service we use to receive contact form messages.

Some of these providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, they rely on legal safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep information

Contact messages: up to 12 months after our last reply, unless needed for a correction record.
Newsletter emails: until you unsubscribe.
Analytics data: up to 14 months (Google Analytics retention setting).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, use our contact form. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

California residents

Under California law you may request details of the personal information we collect and how it's used, ask us to delete it, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can opt out of personalised advertising using the links above or by contacting us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we'll delete it.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS, and we limit access to the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

We'll update this page when our practices change and show the date of the latest update at the top.
