Introduction
This page explains what this website collects, why it collects it, and what happens to it. It applies to every page on this domain.
Information We Collect
The site collects no account details, because it has no accounts. It has no shopping cart and takes no payment.
Standard server logs record the pages requested, the referring page, the browser and operating system, and a truncated network address. Analytics software records the same categories in aggregate.
If you submit the contact form or the email signup, the address and message you type are what reaches us. Nothing else is attached to it.
Cookies
Cookies here cover two jobs: remembering that you dismissed the cookie notice, and letting analytics software count a returning visit rather than a new one.
Your browser settings control cookies. Blocking or clearing them leaves every page on this site fully readable; the notice simply appears again on the next visit.
Analytics
Aggregate analytics tell us which guides get read and which get skipped. The reports show counts and trends, not individuals, and we do not attempt to identify a visitor from them.
Third-Party Links and Affiliate Programs
Product links lead to retail listings operated by other companies. Once you follow one, that company's privacy policy governs what happens next, and we recommend reading it.
This site participates in affiliate programs. Those programs may set their own cookies to attribute a purchase, which is how the site earns a commission at no additional cost to you.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade what the site collects. Data is shared only with the analytics and hosting providers that run the site, and only to the extent those services require.
Security
The site runs over an encrypted connection and holds no payment details or passwords, because it collects neither. No system is perfectly secure, and we keep what we hold to the minimum for that reason.
Children's Privacy
This site is written for adults buying home fixtures. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your Choices
Write to the address on the contact page to ask what we hold from a form submission, to correct it, or to have it deleted. Email signups carry an unsubscribe link in every message.
Changes to This Policy
Revisions appear on this page with an updated date at the top. Material changes are worth a second read before you keep using the site.
