- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our third-party providers automatically receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see below).
How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiries and messages.
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
- To understand how visitors use the Site so we can make it better.
- To display relevant advertising (see Advertising below).
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies & similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them, and allow selected third parties to use them, to make the Site work, remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
Advertising (Google AdSense & third-party vendors)
- We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the Site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and/or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Analytics
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how the Site is used. These tools collect information sent by your device and our pages, including usage data, in an aggregated and de-identified form where possible.
Affiliate links
Some links on the Site are affiliate links, including through the Amazon Associates Program. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support the Site. Affiliate partners may use cookies to attribute purchases.
Third-party links
The Site contains links to other websites (such as Instagram, TikTok, retailers and partners). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.
How your information is stored
The Site and its forms are hosted on Netlify. Enquiry details you submit are stored by Netlify and emailed to us so we can respond. We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law.
Children's privacy
While our content is family-friendly, the Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Australian visitors are protected under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
