Cookies
Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This information is used to track visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity.
For further information visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the above websites tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases, some of the website features may not function as a result.
Only the following necessary cookies are used and no other kind of advertising or tracking activities are taking place.
Cloudflare
A third-party service called Cloudflare is used and will create a cookie for security purposes. More information about that cookie can be found here. Cloudflare logs a user’s IP address for security purposes. Details of Cloudflare’s privacy policy and GDPR compliance can be found here and their full privacy policy can be found here.
Google Analytics & server logs
Google Analytics is a service to help analyse and understand visitor behaviour. In order for it to do this, it will drop a cookie in your browser. More information about that cookie can be found here.
Additionally, the web server creates logs to help diagnose any problems. These logs may record your IP address but this is an essential technical requirement for the site to be run. These logs are rotated every 7 days.
In both such cases, logs are only retained as long as is needed for diagnosis and accountability.
