Third-party analytics are used to track and measure usage of this site so that we can continue producing engaging content. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site or the pages you visit, helping us understand how we can improve the site for you. From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to the site’s delivery. When testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure you receive a consistent experience whilst on the site, whilst ensuring we understand which optimisations our users appreciate most.

As we sell products, it’s important for us to understand statistics about how many of our site visitors actually make a purchase, and as such, this is the kind of data these cookies will track. This is important to you as it means we can accurately make business forecasts that allow us to monitor our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible price.

The Google AdSense service we use to serve advertising uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and to limit the number of times a given ad is shown to you.

We use adverts to offset the costs of running this site and provide funding for future developments. The behavioural advertising cookies used by this site are designed to ensure that we provide you with the most relevant adverts wherever possible by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar things that may be of interest.

Several partners advertise on our behalf, and affiliate tracking cookies simply allow us to see if our customers have come to the site through one of our partner sites, so that we can credit them appropriately and, where applicable, allow our affiliate partners to provide any promotion that may enable you to make a purchase.
