Below is information on the functions of this website.

What personal data is collected when you visit the site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, this site collects the data that is 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.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Media

If you are permitted to upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

There are no contact forms on this website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on this 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 the login page, this site 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, this site 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 have permission to edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites and social media

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics and Twitter

Site visitors may be logged for statistical purposes. This information shows a count of visitors in a specific period of time.

 Twitter collects user data through this website for the purposes of conversion tracking and serving ads targeted to users’ interests, including the storing and accessing of cookies. To opt out of Twitter’s interest-based advertising, there is an applicable opt-out mechanism specified by Twitter via that direct link.

How long is data retained?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so this site can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on this website (if any), this site will 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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data that is held, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that this site erase any personal data held about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Thank you,

Jason Andews.
