How We Look After Your Privacy

This page explains, in plain terms, what happens to your information when you visit this website. We aim to collect as little as possible and to be open about the little we do collect. By using the site, you accept the approach described below, alongside our Terms of Use.

What we collect

Most of what we gather is collected automatically and does not identify you by name. This may include:

• the type of device and browser you use;
• the pages you open and how long you stay on them;
• the general region you are browsing from;
• the website or link that brought you here.

If you choose to write to us, we will also receive your name, email address and whatever you include in your message.

Why we use it

We use this information to keep the site running smoothly, to spot pages that are confusing or broken, and to understand which topics readers find useful. When you contact us, we use your details only to reply. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it to build a personal profile of you.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files saved by your browser. Some are needed for the site to load properly; others help us count visits and see which pages are popular. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. The site will still work, although a few features may behave differently.

Who else may see it

We work with a small number of trusted service providers, such as hosting and visitor-measurement tools, who handle data on our behalf and only for the purposes we set. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our readers and the site.

Keeping it safe

We use sensible safeguards, including secure connections and limited access, to protect information from loss or misuse. No online system is completely risk-free, but we review our measures regularly and keep data only for as long as it serves a clear purpose.

Your choices

Under UK data protection law, you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to how it is used, or ask us to limit its use. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Updates to this page

We may revise this policy as the site or the law changes. Any update will appear here, so it is worth checking back from time to time.

Getting in touch
