Cookie policy
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. Here is what this site uses them for.
Strictly necessary
A minimal set of cookies may be needed to serve pages securely and remember a consent choice you have made. These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
Analytics
If analytics is active, it stores a pseudonymous identifier so repeat visits are not counted as new visitors, and records which pages were read, how far down them you scrolled, and which outbound links were clicked. It is used in aggregate to decide what to write next.
Affiliate attribution
When you follow a product link, the destination merchant or its affiliate network sets a cookie in your browser recording that the visit came from this site. If you buy within that cookie's lifetime, we receive a commission. These cookies are set by the merchant, not by us, and are governed by the merchant's own cookie policy.
Controlling cookies
Every major browser lets you block cookies, delete existing ones, or run in a private window where they are discarded on exit. Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on what you can read. Blocking affiliate cookies means a purchase will not be credited to us, which costs you nothing and costs us the commission.
Do Not Track
Where a browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an objection to non-essential measurement.
