Cookies and other technology

This website may use cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using my website, with the drawback that certain features of my website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

When you submit data to through a form such as those found on contact pages or comment forms cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence and any personal details you enter into a form will be saved and stored securely.

In some special cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third party cookies you might encounter through this site.

This site uses Google Analytics to help me to understand how visitors use the site and ways that I can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit here. A visitor’s IP address (a unique number that identifies a device connected to the Internet) is used to determine their approximate physical location (which town and which country the visitor is in at the time they connected to the site) but the IP address itself is not accessible through Google Analytics and will not be linked to your Google account, if you have one. All data collected from this site by Google Analytics is aggregated and anonymised. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Children

This website, my books, and my newsletter are not aimed at children, and I do not knowingly collect any personal data relating to children aged under 15 years old. If you are under the age of 15, please do not provide me with any of your personal data, including your email address.

Embedded content from other sites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Links to other websites

This website contains links to other websites. When clicked, they open in another window or tab. However, once you have used these links to leave my site, you should note that I do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, I cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Please also be aware that most Amazon links on this site are affiliate links, meaning I receive a small percentage of the purchase price directly from Amazon when you make a purchase after following one of my links. To enable this, when you arrive at the Amazon page via my link, Amazon will add a cookie to your device. If you wish to avoid this, please search within Amazon for the item mentioned rather than using links from this site, or use the option provided within your browser security settings to delete cookies.

Third Party Data Processors

MailerLite
I use MailerLite to manage my email marketing subscriber list and to send emails to my subscribers. MailerLite is a third-party provider, which will securely process your data using industry standard technologies to help me monitor and improve my newsletter. Data held shows the name and email address you entered in the sign-up form when you signed-up to receive my newsletter, the date and time you signed up, and the IP address you signed up from. And IP address is a unique number that identifies a device connected to the Internet and its approximate physical location (to a town and country level, not your actual street address). As well they hold ongoing information noting which of my newsletters you opened and which of my newsletter links you have clicked. You can unsubscribe from my newsletter by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided at the end of each newsletter, or using the “send email” link at the end of this privacy policy.
