Privacy

As is the case with all websites, this site will automatically collect some information about your visit – for example your IP address and time of visit, and the pages you viewed. In general, the information can't personally identify you - your internet service provider can match an IP address to your name, but I can't.

Data collected in the above manner is used to analyse traffic and visitor trends, and for diagnostic and technical purposes. Your information will never be given to anyone else, except in cases of requests for disclosure that must be obeyed by law – which is highly unlikely.

Use of, and data collected by third-party additions to this website provided by Google and Intense Debate etc. may also subject to those services' terms, conditions and privacy policies.

User data may occasionally be published (for example to give an indication of visitor trends), but only in an aggregated and anonymous fashion (see this article for an example).
As of 14.06.13, this website no longer gathers data using Google Analytics.
