What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract location data from images on the site.

When you submit a form on our website, we collect your name, email address, and any information you provide in your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and provide our services. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
