Privacy Notice

I use statcounter to track visitor stats for the simple reason that I find it to be more accurate and reliable than the analytics Google offers. 

Statcounter is an online service which helps me to understand my visitors; for example, how visitors found my website, how long they spent on my site, which web pages they are most interested in etc. I use Statcounter because better understanding how visitors are interacting with my website helps me to improve the content, design and functionality of the site. This allows me to offer a better online experience to my visitors.

Statcounter uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on visitors and visitor activity on this website. This data includes:

• *  Time and date of visit (this can help me to identify and plan for busy periods on my website)
• *  IP address (this is a numerical label assigned to a device by an Internet Service Provider to enable the device to access the internet)
• *  Browser and Operating System (this can help me to make sure that my website functions correctly in the browsers/operating systems used to access my site)
• *  Device Information e.g. device type and screen size (this can help me to make sure that the website functions correctly in the devices used to access the site)
• *  Referring Data e.g. a search engine link (this can help us to understand which search engines are helping visitors to find the website)

Furthermore, when you visit this website a Statcounter cookie (called "is_unique") may be placed in your browser. This cookie is used only to determine whether you are a first-time or returning visitor and to estimate unique visits to the site.
