Privacy
This site sets no cookies and shows no banner because there is nothing to consent to. It runs two lightweight page-view counters without personal identifiers, and its links to shops and makers go straight to those sites, whose own privacy policies then apply.
Last materially reviewed:
Analytics
Page views are counted by a self-hosted Plausible Analytics instance run by the publisher. It records the page, the referrer, the country, the browser family and the device type, without cookies and without a persistent identifier; visitors cannot be recognised across days.
A Google Analytics 4 tag is prepared in the page template with every consent signal set to denied before it is configured, which means no advertising or analytics cookie is written. Until a measurement id is issued for this site the tag does not load at all. If it is enabled later, it will run in the same denied, cookieless mode and this page will say so.
Interactions on the tools, a filter changed, a table re-sorted, a shop link clicked, a file downloaded, are counted as named events so we can tell which pages help. They carry the page and the control, never a person.
What we collect and keep
We keep aggregate counts of the above. We do not collect names, e-mail addresses, accounts or form submissions on the site; the only way to write to us is by e-mail, and an e-mail you send is kept for as long as it takes to act on it.
The hosting server keeps ordinary web-server access logs (IP address, requested path, user agent, time) for a short rotation window, used only to keep the site running and to see which automated readers request the data files.
Outbound links and third parties
Links to club makers and shops leave this site. Where a link is part of an affiliate program, it is marked as sponsored in the page and the affiliate disclosure page explains the arrangement; at launch no such program is active and every shop link is a plain link.
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives the request for the font files. No other third-party script runs on the site: no advertising, no social widgets, no chat.
