Privacy & cookies

This is a static content site. We don't run accounts, comments or newsletters, and we don't collect personal information unless you email us.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 to see which guides people find useful. It runs with Google Consent Mode v2, and analytics storage is denied by default:

  • No analytics cookies are set until you press Accept on the consent banner.
  • If you press No thanks, your choice is remembered in your browser's local storage (key lbf-consent) and no analytics cookies are set.
  • Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are always denied — we don't serve ads.
  • IP anonymisation is enabled.

To change your choice, clear this site's data in your browser (or remove the lbf-consent entry from local storage) and the banner will reappear on your next visit.

Affiliate links

When you click a retailer link we count the click on our own server so we know which guides are useful. That count stores no personal data at all — no IP address, no browser details, no cookies — just the time, which retailer, and which of our pages the click came from.

Links to retailers may contain a tracking reference operated by an affiliate network (such as Awin or Webgains) so the retailer knows the visit came from this site. Those networks may set cookies on the retailer's site subject to that site's own consent banner and privacy policy — not on this one. See how we make money.

Server logs & hosting

The site is hosted on standard shared hosting, which keeps routine server logs (IP address, requested page, user agent) for security and capacity purposes.

Contact form

If you use the contact form, what you type (your name, email address and message) is emailed straight to our inbox so we can reply. If email delivery is temporarily unavailable, your message is held in a private file on the server (not accessible from the web) until we collect it. Beyond that, the server keeps only an anonymous timestamped note that a message was sent, for troubleshooting.
