Who publishes this site

Reading the site

You can read every guide without creating an account, submitting a form or accepting analytics. We do not run advertising, affiliate tracking or embedded social-media widgets. Fonts and editorial images are served with the site.

Essential delivery and preferences

Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes request information such as IP addresses and technical request details to deliver and secure the site. Its processing and retention are described in Vercel’s privacy policy.

If you make an analytics choice, we store that choice in your browser’s local storage for up to six months. It is a site preference, not an advertising identifier. Clearing your browser data removes it. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice can only last for the current page.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics is not currently configured on this site, so no Google Analytics requests are sent. If it is enabled later, it will remain blocked until you allow analytics. Rejecting analytics sends no analytics request to Google, including no consent-status ping.

With your permission, Google Analytics can collect a browser identifier, pages viewed, device/browser information, approximate location and reading interactions such as visible reading time and scroll milestones. Google receives technical connection information when a request is made. We send the page’s canonical URL without query strings or fragments and omit referral URLs, so personal information accidentally placed in a URL is not included in our page-view fields.

We do not send names, email addresses, form contents or account identifiers to analytics. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in our integration. Analytics is not a recording of your screen or a measure of whether you liked a guide. Reading-depth figures represent consenting visitors only.

Change or withdraw your choice

Use Privacy settings to allow or reject analytics. Withdrawing stops new events, clears accessible Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page with analytics blocked. It does not erase data already sent to Google. You can also clear this site’s browser data.

Google’s processing

Google may process analytics data in other countries. See Google’s privacy policy and its explanation of data from partner sites. The analytics property’s retention settings control retained event data; this page does not promise deletion of data already collected.

Email and external links

If you email us, your email provider and ours process the message, and we use the information to handle your enquiry. Send only what is needed. Linked websites have their own privacy practices. Opening an external link takes you to that provider’s site.

Your requests

You may contact the publisher to ask about information you provided, request correction or deletion where applicable, or raise a privacy concern. We may need enough information to identify the message or request, but will not ask for unrelated sensitive details.
