Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics and its associated cookies described below to monitor how the website is used. Data collected using Google Analytics is retained for 26 months after the user’s latest interaction with the website. The retention period resets on any further new activity from the user. Data is deleted automatically on a monthly basis after the retention period. Cookies are used on this website to report analytical data to Google Analytics. This is used to monitor and improve the functionality of the website. To opt-out from Google Analytics across all websites, you can download the browser add-on by Google here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can find out more about the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en-GB.

 

The following paragraph has been taken from Google’s webpage on safeguarding data which can be found here at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en&ref_topic=2919631.

Google Analytics collects first-party cookies, data related to the device/browser, IP address and on-site/app activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions on the websites and/or apps that use Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses IP addresses to derive the geolocation of a visitor, and to protect the service and provide security to our customers.

 

You can find out more about how Google uses data here at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, or from any other URL Google may provide from time to time.

​

This website now uses Google Analytics 4 instead of Universal Analytics. More about this change and what this means can be found on Google's webpage "Meet the next generation of Google Analytics" which can be found here at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10089681?hl=en. This privacy policy has been updated to reflect this change.

 

The table below is from Google’s webpage “Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites” which can be found here at: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage.

The table comprehensively describes the cookies set on websites that use Google Analytics.
