privacy policy

this policy may get updated from time to time so you should check back to keep informed of how I am collecting / using your information and for details of any paid product placements or advertising. this policy was last updated on 22nd June 2026.

there is no advertising on this site, and I do not get paid for any equipment I mention.

I use the wordpress platform and associated plug-ins to provide my website. these use cookies to provide the website's functionality – for example there is a security plug-in that limits logon attempts from the same IP address.  I use a cookie consent plug-in to ensure you can select functional cookies only.

I link to other websites which I feel may be of use – e.g. links to my YouTube page. these websites and others I link to may use cookies and collect information from you which I am not in control of.

you can subscribe to my newsletter using the newsletter page. after entering your email address this will then send you a confirmation email to check you wish to subscribe. I rarely send newsletters, but when I do they will include an unsubscribe link. I use a company called MailerLite to provide the newsletter functionality. they store my subscriber information in the EU and you can read their privacy policy here - https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy

you can contact me using the contact form.  this uses fluentforms to send me an email with the information you enter and also stores this information within my Wordpress database.  I periodically delete this information from my Wordpress database.
