What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

Comments are not enabled on this website. We therefore do not collect personal data through a public comment form.

Media

Images and other media published on this website may contain metadata, including location information embedded in image files (EXIF data). We take reasonable care when preparing media for publication, but visitors should be aware that publicly accessible files may be downloaded.

Contact forms and email correspondence

This website does not currently provide a contact form. If you contact us by email, we will process the information you provide, including your email address and message, to respond to your enquiry and handle any necessary follow-up.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies for its technical operation, administration and analytics.

WordPress may use authentication and preference cookies when an administrator or other authorised user logs in to manage the website. These cookies support login sessions and website administration.

Matomo Analytics may use cookies depending on its configuration. Further information is provided in the Matomo Analytics section below.

Where consent is required by applicable law for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, they will only be used after the required consent has been obtained.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Where a consent management tool is available, you can also use it to manage your preferences.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, social media posts or articles from other websites.

Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. The provider may collect information about you, use cookies or similar technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Such processing is governed by the privacy policy and practices of the relevant third-party provider. Where applicable, external content will be configured to respect the consent requirements imposed by law.

Server logs and technical information

When you access this website, the hosting infrastructure may automatically process technical information, including your IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, referring URL, browser information and operating system.

This information may be processed to deliver the website, maintain security, troubleshoot technical issues and prevent misuse.

Where applicable, the legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in operating and securing the website, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Technical data is retained only for as long as necessary for these purposes, subject to applicable legal requirements and the retention settings of the hosting provider.

Use of Matomo Analytics

This website uses Matomo Analytics, an open-source web analytics tool, to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve its content and functionality.

Depending on its configuration, Matomo may process information about your visit, including:

• Your IP address, which may be anonymised.
• The referring page or website from which you arrived.
• The pages you visit and the time spent on them.
• Your approximate geographical location, such as your country or city.
• Information about your device, browser and operating system.

The information is used for statistical analysis and website improvement.

Matomo may be hosted on our own server infrastructure or provided through an external hosting service. The applicable hosting arrangement determines where analytics data is stored and which service providers may process it.

The legal basis for analytics processing depends on the configuration and applicable legal requirements. Where consent is required, tracking will only take place after consent has been obtained. Where processing without consent is legally permitted, appropriate privacy safeguards will be applied.

If you wish to opt out of Matomo statistical tracking, you can use the following option:

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

You are not opted out. Uncheck this box to opt-out. You are currently opted out. Check this box to opt-in.

The tracking opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.
