What Data Is Collected and Why

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. Google Analytics collects anonymised information including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• How you arrived at the site (for example, from a search engine or social media)
• Your approximate location (country or region level only)
• The type of device and browser you are using

This data is used solely to understand which content is most useful to readers and to improve the site. It is not used to identify you personally. Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

This site displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve adverts based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This site uses the following types of cookies:

• Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage data as described above.
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements.
• Preference cookies — set by this site to remember your cookie consent choice so you are not asked again on every visit.

When you first visit the site, you will be asked to accept or decline non-essential cookies. If you decline, analytics and advertising cookies will not be set. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• The right to be informed about how your data is used (this policy)
• The right to access any personal data held about you
• The right to have inaccurate data corrected
• The right to have your data erased in certain circumstances
• The right to object to processing of your data
• The right to withdraw consent at any time

Because this site does not collect personally identifiable information directly (no accounts, no forms other than email contact), most of these rights relate to data held by Google. You can exercise your rights in relation to Google's data processing by visiting Google's Data and Privacy settings.

If you have a complaint about how your data is handled, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Third-Party Links

Blog posts on this site may contain links to external websites. This privacy policy applies only to this website. When you follow a link to another site, that site's own privacy policy will apply.

Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted. This site does not store any personal data on its own servers.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
