Information you send us

When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, chosen topic and message. We use them to read and, where appropriate, reply to your message. Submissions are sent by email to the site operator and may be stored in a database on our web host. Please do not include medical, financial or other sensitive details in a message.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from. Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies and processes data under Google's own privacy terms. You can limit this with your browser's privacy settings, by blocking third-party cookies, or with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Cookies and local storage

• A session cookie keeps the contact form secure (it protects against forged submissions) and limits repeated submissions.
• If you choose a language from the translate menu, a googtrans cookie remembers it, and the page loads Google Translate, which is subject to Google's terms.
• Your motion preference (Full or Reduced) and whether you have seen the opening animation are stored in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device.

Sharing

We do not sell your information. We share it only with the service providers needed to run the site (our web host, email delivery and Google for analytics and translation) or where the law requires it.

Retention and your choices

Messages are kept only as long as useful for replying and running the site. You can ask for a copy of a message you sent, or ask us to delete it, using the contact form.

Children

This site is meant for a general adult audience and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
