Contact forms

When you submit a contact form on our site, we collect the data shown in the form, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.

We use Contact Form 7 to handle form submissions and Flamingo to store those entries securely within the site dashboard. We do not use the data for marketing unless you’ve explicitly opted in.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to help us understand how visitors use the site. These tools may collect anonymised information such as your browser type, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This helps us improve the experience for future visitors.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via your browser settings or plugins.

Spam prevention

We use Akismet to filter out spam submitted via forms and comments. Akismet may collect data such as your IP address, user agent, and referrer information solely for the purpose of spam prevention.

Media uploads
