We use various tools to gather data on our website visitors.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to find out what people do on our website. For example, what they look at, how they use a webpage, and how long they spend on the site.
We process this information anonymously. We never try and out who is visiting our website, and don’t allow Google to either.
If we want to collect personal information from you, we’ll tell you first, and will explain why.
Hotjar
We use Hotjar, a website behaviour analytics company to better understand our users’ needs and experiences. This allows us to see how long people spend on which pages, the links they click, their likes and dislikes etc. We then use this feedback to improve our website.

- IP address (captured and stored anonymously)

This information is never used to identify individual users or to match it with other data.
