Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How Is Your Personal Data Collected?
- Direct Interaction – You give us your information directly by completing a website form, or via correspondence with us by email, phone, etc.
- Automated technologies – As explained in ‘Data Collected Whilst Using This Website’, we may collect analytical data to help us optimise our website’s user experience.
How We Use Your Data
We use your data in order for us to provide the services you have requested. We use your data for analytics purposes, for example to gauge which pages of the website you view. We never give out your data to third parties other than when necessary for the running of our services (eg. if the website host needs to access the website to fix an issue). We never give out any data for marketing purposes.
Where We Store Information
We may store your personal information on our email programmes (Gmail), on Google Drive, in Documents on our own computers, in our accounting software, in a physical card indexing system and on Sendinblue (the latter stores name and email only). We may also use Amazon Storage, Dropbox for storing website content and performing backups.
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.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Who Has Access To Your Information?
There is very limited access to your information. There are only two staff members, who are security aware. Other access is from essential third parties/sub-contractors who have access to limited information. They only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. For example, our accountants can access our accounting software which contains invoices, names, addresses, emails and phone numbers. Our website hosts (Siteground) are GDPR compliant. Google’s support teams are often given access to your Google Analytics and Adwords accounts in order for them to help optimise the accounts. We are very security conscious and do not give out any details for third party marketing purposes.
