1. Information we collect

Contact form: If you use our Contact Us form, your name, email address and message are sent to our editorial inbox via your own email client. We do not store this on a server ourselves.

Automatically collected data: Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics or advertising scripts we use may automatically log standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and time spent, for the purpose of site operation, security and understanding readership.

Cookies: We may use cookies for basic site functionality (remembering your night-mode and language preference, stored only in your own browser) and, where enabled, for advertising served through Google AdSense or similar networks.

2. Advertising & third-party cookies

This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and/or other ad networks. These third parties may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

Any information collected is used solely to operate, maintain and improve this website, respond to enquiries, and (where applicable) serve relevant advertising. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
