Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device type, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this information. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 6.0 below).

GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides.

3.2 Email links

Should you choose to contact us using email links, none of the data that you include will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors defined in section 6.0.

If we have obtained your express opt-in consent, we may send you, or permit selected third parties to send you, specific forms of marketing, for example regarding other services or products. We shall make sure it is clear when you are able to give us permission to do this, for example, we have an online form and boxes that you need to tick if you wish to receive any such marketing materials. All our marketing emails have an active opt-out option on them. You have the right to withdraw your consent to receiving direct marketing at any time by contacting us directly or by clicking the unsubscribe link present at the end of every email with marketing material.
