3.0 Personal information that this website collects and why we collect it
How this website collects and uses personal information:
3.1 Site visitation tracking
Like most websites, this site 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. 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 below). See the Cookies section below for more information and for details of how to opt-out.
3.2 Contact forms and email links
Should you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors mentioned. Instead the data will be collated into an email and sent to us. We have implemented reCAPTCHA v2 on our contact page to verify and avoid interactions on our website through automated access, such as via bots. The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy below. reCAPTCHA is entirely used for the purpose of fighting spam and attacks on our website.

This website also uses Google Analytics and details of the cookies set can found on Google’s developer guides. You may disable these via the GDPR Cookie Settings banner or settings cog. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop Google Analytics from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website, but may mean that other areas of the website have reduced functionality.

If you choose to register/login to view any restricted pages such as the forum area, wordpress will set cookies beginning with wordpress_ so you can access them.

Some of our pages use “captcha” (anti-spam) technology which may set cookies on your computer.
