What we collect

This website doesn't use its own cookies, analytics or ads. Our host (Cloudflare) keeps standard server logs, such as IP address and browser type, for security and to run the service.

Email sign-up

If you use the ‘Get new gift ideas by email’ form, we collect your email address and a record that you ticked the consent box. We store the submission with our host (Cloudflare) so we can send those emails. Our lawful basis is your consent. We use your email only to send occasional gift-idea emails. We don't sell or share it, and we keep it until you unsubscribe. You can withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by emailing us, and we'll delete your details.

Affiliate links and retailer cookies

When you click an affiliate link, you leave this site. The retailer (for example Amazon) or affiliate network (for example Awin) may set cookies or use similar technology to record that you came from us, so they can pay commission. Their own privacy and cookie policies apply on their sites.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask what data we hold about you and ask us to correct or delete it. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
