Website traffic monitoring
Like most websites, this uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our websites, and to track their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographic location, device, web browser and operating system, none of this information allows us to identify you personally. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not give us access to this. We consider Google a third-party data processor that complies with the requirements of European legislation.
Contact forms and email links
In case you choose to contact us using a contact form or a link in our email, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred or processed by a third-party data processor as defined below under "Our Third-Party Data Processors". Instead, this data will be sent to us in an email message via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by the TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that the content of email is encrypted before it is sent over the Internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
