No account is required to read this site and no reader is asked to register. Standard web-server information is recorded when a page is requested - the address of the page, the approximate region derived from an IP address, the browser and device type, and the referring page.
If a message is sent through the contact page, the address it comes from and its contents are retained for as long as it takes to deal with the message and to keep a record of any correction that resulted.
Aggregate analytics are used to understand which pages are read and where readers struggle. This is reported in aggregate and is not used to build a profile of any individual.
Following a link to an operator passes a tracking parameter identifying this site as the referrer so commission can be attributed. That operator then applies its own privacy policy and its own cookies, which are outside the control of this site. Reading the operator's policy before registering is worthwhile.
Cookies can be blocked or cleared in any browser, and most browsers offer a setting to reject third-party cookies by default. Blocking them does not prevent this site from working.
Depending on where a reader lives, there may be a right to request a copy of personal data held, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Requests of that kind can be sent through the contact page and will be actioned.
This site is intended for adults aged 21 and over. It is not directed at children and no information is knowingly collected from anyone under that age.
