Your Usage Data
Cookies for a better browsing experience
Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer, mobile device or any other device by a website, containing the details of your browsing history on that website among its many uses.
Cookies are mainly used to improve your experience using this Website, offering a more personalised browsing experience and memorising the choices you made previously for your convenience. For example, cookies remember a user’s name or email address when you send a comment, so you don’t have to enter this again next time.
You can manage these cookies through the settings of your browser on your device.
Cookies and Google Analytics
Cookies and similar tracking technologies are also used for security purposes, to track the activity on our Website and store usage data to analyse through Google Analytics. Usage data may include information such as your device’s Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, mobile type/operating system, the pages of our Website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
IP addresses are being anonymized so this data doesn’t identify you personally. It helps us to monitor usage and identify what users are the most interested in so that we can publish more similar content.
Social network plugins
This Website incorporates plugins and/or buttons for social networks, in order to allow easy sharing of content on your favourite social networks. Cookies may be set if you make voluntary use of the plugin.
Other social media platform widgets may also track users’ activity to help us learn more about our audience and improve our services. Please note that if you browse while being logged into the social network, then you have already consented to the use of cookies conveyed through this Website at the time that you registered with the particular social network.
The collection and use of information obtained by means of the plugin are governed by the respective privacy policies of the social networks (please refers to the social networks’ own Privacy Policies).
Gravatar
When visitors leave a comment on our Website, we collect the data 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.
