Cookie and Privacy Policy

PLEASE NOTE: I am currently preparing our updated privacy policy, in line with new GDPR legislation. If you have any questions about how I protect your privacy in the meantime, please e-mail info@angielewin.co.uk

I am committed to respecting and protecting your online privacy.

This includes your need and your right to know what I do with the personal information you share with me. It also guides my policies regarding the management of this data, including how the information is collected, processed, and for what purposes.

By accessing this website you are consenting to the way information is collected and used, as described within this Privacy Policy.

In return, I give the commitment that I will use the personal data you provide only in ways that are compatible with the following Privacy Policy.

The collection of information

Every time you log on to our website your IP (Internet Protocol) address registers on my website servers. Your IP address reveals no information other than the number assigned to you. I do not use this technology to get any personal data against your knowledge or free will (i.e., automatically recording e-mail addresses of visitors). Nor do I use it for any purpose other than to help me monitor traffic on my website, or (in case of criminal activity or misuse of my information) to cooperate with law enforcement.

Cookies

Over time I may use a number of different cookies on my site. If you do not know what cookies are, or how to control or delete them, then I recommend you visit http://www.aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance.

The list below describe the cookies I use on this site and what I use them for.

Currently I operate an ‘implied consent’ policy which means that I assume you are happy with this usage. If you are not happy, then you should either not use this site, or you should delete the cookies having visited the site, or you should browse the site using your browser’s anonymous usage setting (called “Incognito” in Chrome, “InPrivate” for Internet Explorer, “Private Browsing” in Firefox and Safari etc.)

First Party Cookies

These are cookies that are set by this website directly.

Google Analytics: I use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour on my website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of my site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. I therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

You can find out more about Google’s position on privacy as regards its analytics service at http://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics/privacyoverview.html

Third Party Cookies

There may be occassional third party cookies used - for instance where I embed a YouTube film or where I add social media buttons creating links to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. - and you should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on this website.

You should check the respective policies of each of relevant sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
