What we collect, what we never collect

This site is designed to collect as little as possible. We do not require accounts, we do not run comment systems, and we do not ask for names, addresses or payment details. Standard, anonymized server logs (page URL, browser type, referrer, approximate region and timestamp) are retained for security and traffic statistics only.

When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address and whatever you choose to write. Correspondence is used solely to reply, correct errors or consider review suggestions, and is never sold, rented or shared with marketers.

If you subscribe to the monthly email, we store your email address for that single purpose — no browsing profiles, no purchased lists, no reselling. Every email tells you how to stop receiving it.

We use a minimal set of cookies: functional cookies that keep the site working, and privacy-respecting analytics that aggregate page views without building individual profiles.

Advertising (Google AdSense). If we run display advertising, Google and its partner vendors may serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites, and may use cookies (such as the Google advertising cookie) to enable those services. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and via aboutads.info. Any advertising section will always be listed on this page before it goes live.

Affiliate links to Amazon.com and other retailers (such as Chewy) carry our tracking tags. When you click one, the retailer may set its own cookies to attribute the referral — that tracking is governed by the retailer's privacy policy, not ours. We never receive personal data from these clicks; only anonymized commission reports (item, amount, date).

Outbound links to retailers follow the privacy practices of their respective owners; we encourage you to read their policies.

You control the small data surface we touch: block cookies in your browser settings, use any ad blocker you like, or browse with Do Not Track enabled — every feature of this site works regardless. To request deletion of correspondence, unsubscribe from the monthly email, or ask privacy questions, use the contact form and a human will answer within one business day.

Policy updates appear on this page with a revised effective date.
