Information we collect
We collect very little directly. If you email us, we hold your address and the contents of the message for as long as needed to deal with it. We do not operate accounts, and we do not ask visitors to register.
Our servers and those of our hosting provider record standard technical data when a page is requested. This may include an abbreviated IP address, browser type, referring page and timestamp. It is used to keep the site available and to understand aggregate traffic.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site uses cookies and similar storage for two purposes: measuring aggregate readership, and enabling third-party advertising. Functional storage may also be used to remember a preference within a single visit.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking advertising cookies does not prevent articles from loading; it changes which advertisements you see and may make them less relevant to you.
Third parties: analytics and advertising
Analytics and advertising on this site are provided by third-party companies, including Google. These providers may set their own cookies and may combine data collected here with data collected elsewhere on the web.
You can manage personalised advertising through your Google ad settings or your browser's privacy controls. Where required by law, a consent framework is presented before non-essential cookies are set.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, and to ask us to delete it. You may also object to certain processing or ask for a portable copy.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact@trekcommerce.com with enough detail for us to identify the relevant record. We will respond within the period required by the applicable law, and we will explain if we cannot comply.
Children
This site is written for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices change or when the law requires it. The revision date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
