We review this information on Google Analytics.

This information is very important to us as it ensures a user-friendly website experience that is as efficient and easy to navigate as possible. For example, updating content so that it is relevant to you.

From time to time we may share our overall statistics with our partners, but we never share individual details of users on the site.

Should you leave your contact details via our chat function, or emailing us directly, we will then contact you back to discuss your query.
