This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies are used on this website. We believe in being open and transparent about how we collect and use data, and we’re committed to protecting your privacy while creating a smooth and helpful browsing experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — for example, your preferences, login status, or which pages you’ve viewed.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others help us understand how the site is used, improve performance, and deliver relevant content or recommendations.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons:
- To make sure the website works as intended and essential features function properly.
- To remember your preferences (such as cookie consent choices).
- To understand how visitors use the site and improve performance.
- To track affiliate links (such as Amazon links) so we know if a purchase has been made after clicking from our site.
Some cookies are essential and always active. Others — such as analytics or affiliate cookies — are non-essential and are only placed if you give us permission.
