This privacy policy outlines how we collect and use your personal data when you access this website. We may occasionally amend this policy by updating this page.

Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service that enables us to monitor how our site is used. Information about your use of our website is transmitted to Google; however, this data does not enable you to be identified and is not considered privacy intrusive.

Users of most popular web browsers can install a browser add-on that prevents data being transferred to Google.

Comments

When you leave a comment on this website we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and user agent. The comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely and may be used in academic publications and publicity, and for other educational or non-commercial uses.

Comments are checked through automated spam detection service Akismet. The data sent to Akismet typically includes your IP address, user agent and referrer; along with the information provided in the comment form (name, email address and the comment itself).

Embedded content

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. audio or video) from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you have visited the third-party website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Server logs

In common with most websites we automatically log certain information about every visit to the site. This includes your IP address and information relating to your requests from our servers, for example date and time, referrer, user agent, request type and details of request size. This information is used to help us manage the website and where necessary to investigate potential misuse or breaches in regulations.
