Affiliate Disclosure and Third Parties
This Site participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we earn a commission when visitors click links on this Site and subsequently purchase a product or service from the linked merchant. This commission is paid by the merchant — it does not result in any additional charge to you.
Affiliate relationships we currently operate include but are not limited to:
ClickBank — an affiliate marketing network through which we promote third-party digital and physical products. ClickBank's privacy policy is available at support.clickbank.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023989411
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the accuracy or integrity of the information presented on this Site. We only promote products we have researched and believe may provide genuine value to our visitors.
When you click an affiliate link on this Site, you are redirected to the merchant's website. That merchant's own privacy policy then governs the collection and use of any personal data you provide during your interaction with their website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit through a link on this Site, particularly before providing any personal or payment information to a third-party merchant.
Meta (Facebook) Advertising
This Site uses the Meta Pixel — a piece of code provided by Meta Platforms Inc. — to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.
What the Meta Pixel does
Records when visitors arrive at this Site after clicking one of our advertisements on Meta platforms
Records specific actions taken on this Site such as page views and button clicks
Sends anonymised conversion data to Meta to help us understand which advertisements are effective
Allows us to create Custom Audiences of people who have visited this Site for the purpose of showing them relevant advertisements on Meta platforms

What the Meta Pixel does not do
It does not identify you to us personally by name or email address
It does not give us access to your Facebook or Instagram account
It does not store any financial information
The data collected by the Meta Pixel is processed by Meta Platforms Inc. under their Data Policy. You can review how Meta uses this data and manage your advertising preferences at facebook.com/privacy/policy or through your Facebook account's Ad Preferences settings.
