Analytics

We use Google Analytics to gather data in a basic, user-focused way.

Google Analytics has a comprehensive policy on data privacy and security. This gives us control over areas including customizable cookie settings, privacy controls, data sharing settings, data deletion on account termination. We will always act to minimize data collection, processing and storage in line with our Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics sets out best practices to avoid sending Personally Identifiable Information (PII) — we are satisfied that in following these we are minimizing risks related to PII of persons visiting our website(s) being held by Google Analytics.

Google Analytics has, on April 11, 2018, introduced data retention controls, which allow us to control data minimization and determine how long user and event data for our website is held on Google Analytics servers on a lawful basis in relation to the reasonable requirements of our organization.
