Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and is stored by the website visitor’s browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track how the web browser is using our website.
​
This website uses cookies to monitor its visitors to better understand how they use it. Tracking software allows me to understand things such as which pages a visitor views, for how long and how a visitor came to the website (from which source e.g. Google, Facebook, Instagram). Without these cookies, this understanding and some functionality on the site may be lost. Cookies also allow us to better the users experience while visiting the website.
​
You have the option to disable cookies on this website via the pop-up cookie banner.
Google Analytics
I use Google Analytics to help me understand how my website is being used so that I can improve it and my services. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about how websites are used by using cookies which are stored on users’ computers. Google will store this information. You can find their privacy policy and more detail about the information they collect on their website. Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
​
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Should you have any concerns about how your information is managed, please contact info@whittingtoncharity.org.uk. If you are still unhappy following a review by the charity, you can then complain to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) via their website (www.ico.gov.uk).
