Cookie Policy
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a biscuit – mmmm biscuits… It is also, in techy-talk, a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. If you agree, the cookie is placed on your computer and helps analyse web traffic or identify when you visit a particular site.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. We collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.

Google Analytics
Google Analytics generates anonymous statistical and other information about website use by means of first party cookies which are stored on users’ computers.
The information generated by the Google Analytics cookies relating to our website (including your IP address) is used to identify how people access the website and which pages are being visited, to measure visitor statistics and to create reports about the use and activity of the website and its content. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. Whilst Google Analytics collects your IP address in order to provide us with a sense of where in the world our website visitors come from, Google Analytics does not report the actual IP address information to us.
In addition, the information generated by Google Analytics described above will be transmitted to and stored by Google Inc on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
