Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you visit the site.

Information You Provide

If you submit a message through our contact form, we collect your name and email address to respond to your enquiry. We do not store this information beyond what is needed to reply to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages and referring URLs. This information is used to understand how visitors use the site and to improve our content. It is not used to personally identify you.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device, to improve your browsing experience. We use the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies: Required for the website to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with our website. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects anonymised data about page views and visitor behaviour. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to operate and improve the website, respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form, understand which content is most useful to our readers, and display relevant advertising through Google AdSense. We do not sell, trade or transfer your personal information to third parties.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only for the time required to respond to your message. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ standard data retention settings, which we have set to 14 months. We do not store personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary.
