Comments

If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymised string (a “hash”) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy. After comment approval, your profile picture is visible alongside your comment.

Cookies

– If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email and website in cookies. These last for one year.
– A temporary cookie is set on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
– When you log in, cookies save your login info (for 2 days or 2 weeks if “Remember Me” is checked) and your screen preferences (for 1 year).
– Editing or publishing an article sets a cookie with the post ID. This expires after 1 day.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this information.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, maps, or social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.

Analytics

We use anonymous traffic tracking tools (e.g. Google Analytics) to help us improve the performance and experience of our website. No personal data is directly linked to this tracking.

We do not share your personal data with third parties except where required for spam detection or legal compliance.

How long we retain your data

– Contact form submissions may be stored for up to 12 months for booking and customer service purposes.
– If user accounts are introduced in future, registered users will be able to view, edit or delete their personal data (except usernames).
