Privacy policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This site has no accounts and takes no payments.

Here’s what it does collect, where it goes, and how the site makes money.

Meta’s pixel and cookies

Every page on this site runs Meta’s pixel, a small piece of code from the company behind Facebook and Instagram.

When a page loads, the pixel tells Meta which page was viewed. It doesn’t send what you click on this site or anything you type.

The pixel also saves a cookie called _fbp in your browser, under this site’s address. It’s there to measure ads and to build audiences of readers.

That way, ads can reach people who’ve visited this site.

If you came here from an ad, the pixel saves the ad’s click ID in a second cookie, _fbc.

You can stop Meta from using your visits to sites like this one to pick your ads. The setting is in your ad preferences on Facebook or Instagram.

You can also block cookies in your browser.

Links to the shops we write about

If you came here by clicking an ad, the ad added a click ID and tracking tags to the address of the page it opened.

The links on that page to the shops we write about carry them along, so the shop can tell which ad sent you.

Every link to those shops also says which article it’s in.

Amazon links

Links to Amazon carry this site’s Amazon Associates tag, so Amazon knows the visit came from here. In Amazon’s words:

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Paid promotion

Brands have paid for promotional consideration in these articles.

The contact form

When you write to us through the contact form, it sends us the name, email and message you type.

Netlify, the company that hosts this site, stores them so we can reply. We never sell them.

That’s all the form asks for. There’s no newsletter.

Server logs

Like most web hosts, Netlify also keeps standard server logs: a record of the requests your browser makes when it loads a page here.

Questions

If you have a question about any of this, write to us through the contact form.
