Your details are never used for any other purpose and are never shared with outside parties.

Finally, I never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to me online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, I have put in place appropriate physical and electronic procedures to safeguard and secure the information I collect online.

Should you have any further questions or concerns regarding use of this website I can be contacted by email or by phone, please visit the contact page of my website for further details.

I do not set cookies or use analytics on this website. Upon clicking to send a message via the contact page, you will be taken to a Google form and Google will set their own cookies, which I have no way to monitor or control. In this case, Google are the data processor and you can read more about their legal compliance here. Also, Google's privacy policy is available here.

This document was created using an SEQ Legal template.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website. Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

I do not send you any first party cookies.

(5) Third party and analytics cookies

When you use my website, you may be sent third party cookies. My service providers may send you cookies. They may use the information they obtain from your use of their cookies: (a) to track your browser across multiple websites; (b) to build a profile of your web surfing; and (c) to target advertisements which may be of particular interest to you. I do not use analytics to analyse the use of this website.

(6) Cookies and personal information

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you.

(7) Blocking cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. For example: (a) in Internet Explorer/Edge you can block cookies using the cookie handling override settings available by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy" and then "Advanced"; (b) in Firefox you can block all cookies by clicking "Tools", "Options", "Privacy", selecting "Use custom settings for history" from the drop-down menu, and unticking "Accept cookies from sites"; and (c) in Chrome, you can block all cookies by accessing the "Customise and control" menu, and clicking "Settings", "Show advanced settings" and "Content settings", and then selecting "Block sites from setting any data" under the "Cookies" heading. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites. If you block cookies, you may not be able to use all the features on this website.

(8) Deleting cookies

You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer. For example: (a) in Internet Explorer, you must manually delete cookie files (you can find instructions for doing so at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835); (b) in Firefox, you can delete cookies by clicking "Tools", "Options", "Privacy" and then "Show Cookies", and then clicking "Remove All Cookies"; and (c) in Chrome, you can delete all cookies by accessing the "Customise and control" menu, and clicking "Settings", "Show advanced settings" and "Clear browsing data", and then selecting "Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data" before clicking "Clear browsing data". Again, doing this may have a negative impact on the usability of many websites.
