We aim to keep data collection limited, practical and transparent. Some parts of the site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, advertising, affiliate links, security and performance.

Legal bases for processing

Under UK data protection law, we rely on different legal bases depending on the type of information and why it is used:

• Consent – for non-essential cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies and personalised advertising where required.
