What Data We Collect
When you visit our website we may automatically collect basic technical data including your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This is collected via server logs and cookies.
We do not operate a public comments section on this website.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g. as an administrator), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images published on the site.
Cookies
We use cookies on this website. Cookies are small files placed on your device. We use the following types:
Essential & Security Cookies (no consent required)
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check whether your browser accepts cookies — it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, cookies are set to save your login session and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; if you select “Remember Me” they persist for two weeks. Screen option cookies last for one year. These cookies are removed when you log out.
Our cybersecurity software also sets cookies to protect the site against unauthorised access and malicious activity.
Performance Cookies (no consent required)
Our caching software sets a cookie to ensure you are served the correct version of pages, improving site speed and performance.
Analytics Cookies (require your consent)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are most visited. No personally identifiable information is stored. These cookies are only placed after you have given your consent via our cookie notice. You can opt out at any time via your browser settings or using the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, or articles from other websites). Embedded content behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited those other websites directly. They may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Who We Share Your Data With
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate this website:
| Service | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Website traffic analysis | USA |
| Cybersecurity software | Protection against attacks and unauthorised access | USA |
| Hosting provider | Serving the website | Netherlands |
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Where data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you register an account on this website, the personal information in your user profile is stored for as long as your account remains active. 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.
Server logs and analytics data are retained for a limited period for security and performance monitoring purposes. Google Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data — including requesting an exported file of all personal data we hold about you
- Object to or restrict how we process your data
- Withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time
Please note that we may need to retain certain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes even if you request deletion.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us. We will respond within one calendar month.
