Our website uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 5 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides which are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser. Our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.
The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within our website.
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Contact us page or an email link like this one, the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
