We may use third-party analytics services to help us understand how readers engage with our editorial content.

3. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used for the following purposes, each grounded in a lawful basis under UK GDPR:
- ■ Responding to enquiries. When you submit the contact form, we use your name and email address to reply to your message.

- ■ Analytics and editorial planning. Anonymised or aggregated data about how content is read helps us plan future editorial work. No individual is identified through this analysis. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in understanding our audience at a population level.
- ■ Cookie consent management. Where you interact with our cookie consent banner, we store a record of your preference so that we do not display the banner on every subsequent visit. The lawful basis is compliance with our legal obligation under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
