Privacy policy
This page explains, in plain UK English, how Readmine handles information when you use our site. We aim to collect as little as possible.

Who we are
Readmine is a UK-oriented discovery website. We publish product guides and catalogue picks; purchases are completed on third-party merchant sites (for example eBay, Amazon UK or other partners). For privacy questions contact Akanjiade280@gmail.com.
Cookies and consent
We show a simple first-party cookie banner (Accept all / Essential only) so you can choose whether non-essential advertising cookies are used. Your choice is stored in your browser (localStorage) so we remember it on later visits.
- Essential — needed for the site to work (for example remembering your cookie choice, and normal hosting / security logs). The catalogue, guides and affiliate “View deal” links work without accepting ads cookies.
- Ads / analytics (optional) — if you choose Accept all, we load Google AdSense, which may set cookies and process data under Google's policies to deliver and measure ads. If you choose Essential only, or have not yet accepted, we do not load the AdSense script (
adsbygoogle.js) or enable auto ads from our site.
To change your mind later, use (also linked in the site footer), or clear site data for readmineshop.com in your browser settings. Related: Google advertising technologies.
What we collect on this site
We use Vercel Web Analytics — a privacy-oriented first-party analytics tool on our hosting platform. It collects aggregated page-view and performance data (for example which pages are visited and basic device/browser categories) so we can understand how the site is used. It is designed to avoid invasive fingerprinting and does not build cross-site advertising profiles for us.
We do not operate a user accounts system or checkout, so we do not store order history, payment card details or login profiles on Readmine itself.
Like most websites, our hosting provider and content delivery network may also process standard technical logs (for example IP address, browser type, requested URL and timestamps) to keep the service secure and available. Those logs are controlled by the hosting platform, not used by us to build marketing profiles.
Site ownership verification meta tags (for services such as Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools) appear in our page markup so we can confirm we control the domain. Those tags are not tracking cookies.
Affiliate links and third-party cookies
When you click “View deal” or another outbound product link, you leave Readmine and visit a merchant or affiliate network. Those third parties may set their own cookies, use their own analytics and process personal data under their own privacy policies — for example to remember a basket, measure a referral or show relevant offers. Our cookie banner does not block those outbound links.
Readmine may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through those links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We do not control Amazon, eBay or partner cookie settings; please review each merchant's privacy notice and cookie controls if you want to manage them.
Emails you send us
If you email us, we will use the address and content of your message only to reply and to handle your request. We do not sell contact lists.
Your rights (UK)
Depending on applicable UK data protection law, you may have rights to ask what personal data we hold about you, to request correction or deletion, or to object to certain processing. Because we keep little personal data on Readmine itself, many requests will simply confirm that we hold no account profile for you — apart from any email correspondence you chose to send.
To make a request, email Akanjiade280@gmail.com with enough detail for us to find your message. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
