What we collect
When you read the site. Our host and our analytics provider record technical information sent by your browser: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and the page that referred you. We use this to understand which articles are read and to keep the site working.
When you contact us. The name, email address and message you submit through our contact form. We use it only to reply, and we keep a copy in our systems.
When you subscribe. The email address you give us, used to send the newsletter you asked for. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
When you comment. Your name, email address, comment and IP address. Your name and comment are public; your email address is not.
We do not ask for, and do not want, information about your health.
Cookies and advertising
This site is funded by advertising and uses cookies and similar technologies for three purposes: to make the site work, to measure how it is used, and to serve and measure adverts.
Advertising is delivered by third-party networks, including [Google AdSense / Google Ad Manager]. These networks may set cookies and process data — including identifiers and browsing behaviour — to select and measure the adverts you see, in some cases including personalised advertising.
Where the law requires consent, we ask for it through our consent banner before non-essential cookies are set. You can change your choices at any time using the [cookie settings link] at the foot of every page, and you can control Google’s advertising personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
Legal bases
We rely on legitimate interests to run and secure the site and to respond to messages you send us; on consent for non-essential cookies, advertising and the newsletter; and on legal obligation where we must keep records.
How long we keep things
Contact messages: [period]. Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe. Comments: while the article remains published. Analytics data: as set by the retention settings of the provider.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Contact [privacy email]. If you are not satisfied with our response you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
