What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Cookies
This site uses javascript to pass data to Google Analytics:
(1) The connection to Google Analytics gives us geographical insights such as which countries and regions visit our website, demographical insights such as the age groups of visitors, and technical insights such as the device and browser software used. Cookies are used to distinguish first-time visitors from returning visitors.
Neither function collects or passes on any personally identifiable data and we do not store this data ourselves.
Javascript sends your consent to a third party cookie consent management provider which allows the website to “remember” your consent and not request it again on future visits (for one year). This function neither collects or passes on any personally identifiable data and we do not store this data ourselves.
Comments and Contact forms
When visitors leave comments on the site, or complete the ‘Get In Touch’ form, we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. If you complete the ‘Get In Touch’ form, the details you provide are retained by us on local hardware while we process your enquiry. Once we’ve done this – and assuming we are not going on to do business with you – your details are deleted permanently from our system.
