Types of Personal Data Collected

Technical data

Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information about all visitors to our Website. This Technical Data comprises information such as user IP addresses, browser types, web search terms, and other statistical data involving the use of our Website (for example, what pages on the Website you visited and whether these functioned as intended). An IP address is the identifying details for your computer on the Internet expressed in "Internet Protocol" code (for example 192.168.75.46). Every computer connected to the Internet has a unique IP address, although the address may not be the same every time a connection is made. We take measures to anonymize IP addresses such that we cannot link them to an individual and we do not use technical data for advertising or marketing purposes.

We collect the Technical Data using cookies or other similar technologies (please see the Cookies section for more information).
