Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies may be used for basic site functionality, aggregate analytics and partner attribution — the mechanism that tells a developer that a purchase originated here. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; the site remains readable if you do.

Partner links and third parties

When you follow a link to a software developer, you leave this site. What happens next is governed by that developer's privacy policy, not ours. Partner networks may record that a visit originated from this site in order to attribute a purchase.

Data retention and security

Request logs and analytics are retained only as long as they are useful for maintaining and improving the site. Messages you send us are kept only as long as needed to deal with the matter raised.

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

You can browse without providing personal information, block cookies, use browser tracking protection, and contact us to ask what information we hold about a message you sent or to request its deletion. Reach us through the contact page.
