Automatically collected information

Like most websites, this site collects standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL. This data is used in aggregate to understand how the site is being used and to improve the content. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

This site uses cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and to maintain basic site functionality (WordPress). By continuing to use the site, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some site functionality.

Third-party links

This site contains links to external websites including YouTube, Patreon, Ko-fi, Instagram, and book retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites and encourage you to review their policies directly.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you purchase through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These are always disclosed. Affiliate links do not affect our editorial recommendations.

Data retention and your rights

We retain email subscriber data for as long as you remain subscribed. You can request deletion of your data at any time by unsubscribing from the email list or contacting us directly.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection law (including GDPR and the Australian Privacy Act) to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you.
