INTERACTION & SUBMISSIONS
COMMENTS
When visitors leave comments on the site 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.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
MEDIA
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
CONTACT FORMS
If you submit an enquiry via our website then this data will be stored and processed by our providers, such as our email platform and may be saved in our customer relationship system CRM or similar database, to enable us to respond to you and keep a record of this correspondence. You may be presented the option to save your name, email address and website in cookies for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. You are able to manage and remove cookies using browser or security tools on your own device.
USER PROFILES

COOKIES
Our website uses cookies which are small files of letters and numbers that are sent from our website and stored in your browser or the hard drive of your computer. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our website and this helps us to provide you with a better user experience when you use our website.

Please
note that our advertisers and third party web traffic analytic sites may also

You are able to block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to block some or all cookies. If you do block our cookies however, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website. Cookies are an essential element of a functioning website (a shopping cart, for example, cannot work without saving your cart selections somewhere temporarily - either in our database or in a cookie - otherwise your selected items would disappear every time you went to a different page on the site). For this reason, we do not recommend that you disable or block cookies. Instead, we suggest taking a proactive approach to pruning unwanted cookies over time, or you could opt to periodically clear all browsing data and cookies at regular intervals.
