Affiliate Links

It makes no difference to you in terms of price and you get exactly the same item as if you went to shop directly on the seller’s site, but it can help us defray the cost of running this website.

Google Analytics, Google Signals & Google Adsense
Google utilizes the Data collected to track and examine the use of this Website, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the Data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
When you have Ads Personalisation turned on, or where you are signed in to a Google service or app. Google tracks your activity across all devices.
What this means in real life, is that even when you move from website to website, you may see ads from a website you visited previously, following you through to another website because of some action or activity (eg clicking a link, buying something) you may have performed on the previous website, even if it was on another device. That’s because Google is tracking you based on your login, or the cookies that persist and continue to identify you.
Based on information you have agreed to share with Google, Google, knows your age, gender, your purchasing preferences, places you’ve physically visited, the YouTube videos you’ve seen, your search history, including data from sites that partner with Google and so on.
To date we have not linked with Google Analytics.
