Contact messages
When you use the contact form we ask for a name, an email address, a topic and a message. These are used only to reply, are emailed to the site team and kept no longer than needed to deal with the message.
Stopping spam
To stop spam, the sender’s IP address is turned into a one-way code and kept for about an hour to limit how many messages can be sent; the IP address itself is not stored. Messages are passed to an automated service (Grok, run by xAI) to help separate genuine messages from spam.
Cookies
The site itself only sets cookies for the people who log in to manage it.
Content from other sites
Some pages show pictures and posts from X (Twitter), and may include content from Facebook, Bluesky or YouTube; those services can see the visitor’s IP address and may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.
Sharing articles
New articles are shared to the site’s own social media pages; no visitor data is passed to them.
Your rights
Visitors in the UK and EU can ask what personal data is held about them, and ask for it to be corrected or deleted, using the contact page. They can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
