We take the privacy of those who visit this website seriously and we aim to be transparent about our processing of personal information. Accordingly, this page explains the kinds of information we may collect about you, and the reasons for collecting this information.
If you use this website, we will make a record of the information your web browser sends to us, typically identifying the type of browser you are using, and your IP address. We record this information in order to understand the ways in which people use our website; to detect bugs; and hostile access. We routinely delete our server logs after 30 days, and the analytics data associated with each user is only retained for 26 months after the last time they visit the site.
We share this information only with our website hosting service Google Cloud, and analytics provider Google Analytics, who are under an obligation not to use your information for any other purpose.
To make this website work properly, we sometimes place small data files called “cookies” on your device. Most big websites do this too.
A cookie is a small text file that a website (including this website) saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website, including plugins such as YouTube, to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. It also enables us to analyse how this website is being used.
The following table explains the cookies we use and why we use them.
