What could be considered data?
Basic site analytics
We track page hits using JavaScript to understand how the site is used (for example, which pages are visited most often). This tracking is limited to counting page views and does not attempt to identify individual visitors.
We do not build user profiles, track behaviour across websites, or associate visits with real-world identities.
Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, approximate location (based on IP address), and browser and device information. This information is processed by Google on our behalf to help us understand how visitors use the site.
We do not receive personally identifying information from Google Analytics. Google may process this data on servers outside the EU. Google’s data processing is governed by their own privacy policy.
Cookies

Who do we share your data with?
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone - because we know nothing about you.
Some data is processed by third parties (such as Google) solely for analytics and advertising purposes, as described above.
How long do we retain your data?
We retain aggregated, non-identifying analytics data for as long as it it useful for understanding site usage.
We do not retain personal data that would allow us to identify individual visitors.
We know nothing about you unless you use the Contact Us form, the use of which implies an informed consent that your message will reach us.
