Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.

We automatically collect technical data including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and referring URLs.

We may collect usage data such as articles read, videos viewed, and time spent on pages to improve your experience.

To analyse site traffic and user behaviour through aggregated analytics, and to detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We use essential cookies required for site functionality, analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics), and advertising cookies to deliver relevant ads.

You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via our Cookie Preferences panel or your browser settings.

Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect core site functionality.

We share data with trusted service providers including Google Analytics, advertising networks, and email delivery platforms solely to operate our service.

Embedded content (e.g. YouTube trailers) may set third-party cookies governed by those providers' own privacy policies.

We require all third-party processors to handle your data in compliance with applicable data protection law.

To exercise any right, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained for 26 months then automatically deleted.

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures including TLS encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100{ddb8da93a93e9a32a8b8b4489aed7890083fef5a7ffc508d7059f939b6e43b97} secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but commit to prompt breach notification as required by law.
