• We do not use cookies for visitors, and we do not use third-party analytics, advertising or tracking scripts.
• Our server keeps simple visit statistics: which page was viewed and when, the referring website, the country (looked up from the IP address), the network provider, the device and browser type, and how long the page was visible. To count unique visitors per day it stores a one-way code made from the IP address and browser that changes every day, so it cannot be used to identify you or follow you from one day to the next. We do not store IP addresses, and these records are deleted after 90 days.
• Usage numbers you type into a running-cost calculator stay in your browser and are not sent to us.
• If you use the contact form, we store your message, the name and email address you enter, and a one-way hash of your IP address used only to block spam. We use your email only to reply to you. You can ask us to delete your message at any time.
