How We Store Collected Data
Data that is collected when you visit this website is stored on the server on which the website resides. This is for the purpose of forming server logs, which help to manage visitors for a multitude of purposes.
Firstly, the data is stored on the server to help with monitoring how people use the site, and to provide on server analytics.
In addition, data is stored on the server to help with security. It is used by the server itself, and by other applications to block and minimise the intrusion of certain visitors, and also to stop people from hacking and spamming.
The data is also used by analytical software that stored online in the cloud. So the IP address and passage through the site can be used off-site for the purpose of analytics. However, it’s important to note that none of these details are personally identifiable, and are fully anonymized for the off-site analytical programs.
