Analytics and website usage tracking
We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 to help us understand how visitors use our website.
These tools collect information such as:
- pages visited
- time spent on pages
- general geographic location
- device and browser information
- how visitors arrive at our website
This information helps us improve the website and understand how people find and use our services.
The information collected is processed in an aggregated and anonymised form where possible. We do not use this data to personally identify individual visitors.
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation where available to reduce the ability to identify individual users.
Google may process this information on servers located outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites.
Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, particularly if you are logged into those services.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent personal information.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Certain website functions may share limited technical data with trusted service providers, such as analytics providers used to measure website performance.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to Google’s data retention settings.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
