6. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may process your personal data on our behalf or independently. Each has its own privacy policy which we encourage you to review.
Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics, configured via Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors use the Site. This service may collect your IP address, browser information, and pages visited. Google may process this data in the United States. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Matomo Analytics
We also use Matomo, a self-hosted analytics platform, to collect anonymised usage statistics. Matomo data is stored on our own servers and is not shared with third parties.
Mailchimp
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address and name will be transferred to Mailchimp (operated by The Rocket Science Group LLC). Mailchimp processes this data in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any newsletter email. For more information, see Mailchimp's Privacy Policy at mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
Affiliate Networks (AWIN, Webgains, Amazon Associates)
The Site contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to a third-party website. These networks — AWIN and Webgains — may set tracking cookies to attribute purchases to us. We do not receive your personal data from these networks, but they may process it under their own privacy policies. Please review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
7. Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We use the following types of cookies:
Essential cookies — required for the Site to function correctly, including session management and security. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics and Matomo to help us understand how the Site is used. These are only set with your consent.
Affiliate tracking cookies — set by affiliate networks (AWIN, Webgains, Amazon) when you click an outbound link. These are only set when you actively click an affiliate link.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Site. Please note that disabling affiliate tracking cookies means we may not receive commission for purchases you make, though this does not affect the price you pay.
8. Sharing Your Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with:
Service providers acting as data processors on our behalf (such as Mailchimp for email delivery and Google for analytics), who are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify
Affiliate networks, to facilitate tracking of referral activity
Law enforcement or regulatory authorities, where required by law
All third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
9. International Data Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers are based outside the UK and the European Economic Area. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
