Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to help us understand how visitors use our website. This includes aggregated information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, browser type, and general location (based on anonymised IP data).

GA4 automatically anonymises IP addresses before they are stored. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics, and we do not combine analytics data with any other personal data.

Our cookie banner allows you to manage your consent preferences for cookies, including those used for analytics. You can change your preferences at any time through the banner or by adjusting your browser settings.

We retain analytics data for up to 14 months, which allows us to analyse trends over time while respecting your privacy.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages may include embedded content such as videos, maps, or articles from third-party sites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the originating site directly and may collect data or use cookies. We do not control these external platforms and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.

User Accounts and Comments

This website does not offer public commenting or user registration. Only authorised administrators have access to the website backend.

Under UK and EU data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we may hold about you

If you contact us directly via the website, we may retain the communication for administrative purposes.
