About this policy
This policy applies to Choosewise.co.uk ("we", "us", "our"). It explains what information we may collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect and why
Comments
Comments are switched off across the site, so we do not gather any information through them.
Contacting us
When you send us a message through our Contact page, we use the email address you provide only to write back to you. Sending a message does not sign you up for any newsletter, and we never hand your details to other companies.
Cookies and ad tracking
Some pages use cookies so we can measure how well our paid advertising on Facebook, Google, and similar platforms performs. They show us whether visitors arrive from an ad and whether they keep browsing, which helps us decide where to spend our budget.
These cookies do not give us any personal information about you, and we do not share our tracking pixel with anyone else.
Accounts and logging in
When you sign in, we store a few cookies that remember your login and your display settings. Login cookies expire after 2 days and display-setting cookies after 12 months. If you choose "Remember Me", you stay signed in for two weeks. Signing out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, we also save a small cookie holding only the ID of that article. It has no personal details and is deleted after 1 day.
Content from other websites
Some pages may display content that comes from other sites, such as videos, images, or articles. Viewing that content is the same as visiting the originating site. Those sites may collect data about you, set their own cookies, load additional third-party trackers, and track how you interact with their content, including when you hold an account with them and are signed in.
Analytics
We do not sell or share your information with third parties. We do use Facebook and/or Google pixels to see how our paid ads perform. They give us general trends rather than personal details, which we use to improve our decisions.
How long we keep your information
If comments are ever turned back on, a comment and its related data would be kept indefinitely, so that later comments from the same person can be approved automatically rather than waiting in moderation.
If you register on our site, we keep the details you give us in your user profile. You can view, change, or delete your personal information whenever you like, apart from your username, which is fixed. Site administrators can also see and update this information.
Your rights
If you have a profile on this site or have left a comment (comments are currently off), you can ask us for a file containing the personal data we hold about you, including anything you have given us.
You can also ask us to delete the personal information we hold about you. We may need to keep certain information where required for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Questions about privacy
