We use Google Analytics through the MonsterInsights website plugin to understand how visitors use our website. This may include pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source, session activity, link interactions and file downloads. We use this information to improve the website and our content.
Google Analytics will not be activated unless you select Accept all or enable analytics through Cookie settings. You can withdraw that consent at any time. We have configured the website so that analytics information is not used by us for behavioural advertising or cross-site profiling.
Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect against spam, fraud and automated abuse. It may analyse technical and usage information, including IP address, device and browser details, mouse movements, keystrokes and interaction data, to assess whether activity is genuine.
We treat technologies reasonably necessary to protect the form as strictly necessary. We load reCAPTCHA only on pages with a protected form or when a visitor interacts with it. Google may process information outside the UK under its applicable privacy and transfer arrangements.
When you first visit the website, our cookie banner allows you to Accept all optional cookies, Reject all optional cookies or Manage preferences. Optional choices are switched off by default.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by selecting Cookie settings in the website footer. Withdrawing consent will stop future analytics activity and will remove optional cookies where our consent tool can do so. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent a requested feature, such as a protected form, from working correctly.
We normally remember your choice for six months. We may ask you again sooner if we introduce a new purpose or make a material change to the technologies we use.
Google may receive information through Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA. Where this information is personal data, we consider the roles of each party, put appropriate contractual arrangements in place and use a lawful transfer safeguard where information is processed outside the UK. This may include the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful safeguard.
Further information is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and in our Privacy Policy.
Our website may contain links to external websites. Those websites control their own cookies and similar technologies. You should review their privacy and cookie information before making choices on those websites.
We review this policy and our website technologies regularly. We will update this page when we add or remove technologies, change their purposes or durations, or when legal requirements change. The date at the top shows when this policy was last updated. Where a change affects an existing consent, we will ask for a new choice before activating the changed technology.
