Privacy & Cookies

I'm committed to safeguarding the privacy of my website visitors; this policy sets out how I will treat your personal information. My website uses cookies. By using my website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

What information is collected?

I may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:

information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, the length of visit, page views and website navigation).

information that you provide to me for the purpose of registering on my mailing list or for sending me an email enquiry (including your name, contact details and any message you send me).

information that you provide to me for the purpose of subscribing to my website services, email notifications and/or newsletters;

any other information that you choose to send to me;

Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

I use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on my website. I use the session cookie to: keep track of you whilst you navigate the website] I will use the persistent cookies to: enable my website to recognise you when you return and to record when you've subscribed to my mailing list so you aren't shown the same message over and over.

Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date which is usually one year.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer, you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

I will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

Disclosures

In addition, I may disclose your personal information:
