Safety and Privacy
We work to the principle of respecting your right to privacy, and we will not knowingly pass on your personal information to any third party unless required to so by law, or without your permission.
For specific information about Cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
This site does not generally collect user data other than information about your browser to optimise the viewing experience, and your IP address (a unique identifier for your computer) for statistical monitoring purposes using Google Analytics.
We don’t try to link your IP address with your identity, and Google says it anonymises IP addresses as soon as it can in the collection process. There’s more detail in our Cookie Policy below.
If you contact us using the contact form on our website, we will be sent your message in the form of an email, which will collect the information, including personal data, you choose to include. Some fields are mandatory, including your name, phone number, and your email address.
Data submitted by our contact form is only held as long as we need to enable us to deal with your enquiry. Your data is not shared with anyone else.
If you choose to subscribe to our email newsletter via our website, available in our website footer, you will need to opt in to receiving it. The specific GDPR and marketing permissions for the newsletter are given during the opt-in process.
Cookies
Like most websites, our site uses cookies to improve functionality and user experience, and for analytics. You will be informed about cookies when you first use the site and given choices about their use on your machine.
For more information on this website’s use of cookies, (and how you can easily decline to accept them using your own browser’s settings), please see below.
Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
“Cookies” are text files stored on your browser (e.g. Firefox, Edge, Safari or Chrome) on your computer or other browsing device, such as a tablet or phone. Websites can read and write these files, so they can personalise your viewing experience or preferences when you visit.
Essential cookies
Some cookies on this site are essential, and the site may well not work as expected without them. Essential cookies may be set when you first launch the site, and others when you submit a form, log in or interact with the site in some other way, by doing something that goes beyond clicking on simple links.
Improving your experience
Analytics
We also use Google Analytics, a statistical tool that measures user activity, on this site. This uses cookies to collect information about visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. This information may be used to evaluate visitors’ use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. We will not seek to link an IP address with the identity of a computer user.
In detail, Google says: “The IP anonymization feature in Analytics sets the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses to zeros in memory shortly after being sent to the Analytics Collection Network. The full IP address is never written to disk in this case.”
Social media
We may also incorporate some third party ‘social media’ services into our websites, which may leave cookies on your machine – for example to make it simple to ‘share’ an article or to note other preferences. These services may include, but are not limited to:
By using our websites, you accept the use of cookies in these ways.
Alternatively you can choose to either disable cookies on first use of our site, or withdraw consent at any time.
You can also decline cookies by using the controls built in to most browsers – allaboutcookies.org offers some detailed information for doing this using a wide variety of browsers, and aboutcookies.org offers more information about deleting and controlling cookies.
