Not everything listed on this page may apply to you as we distinguish the following users: website visitors, subscribers and authors.
We have in place, and regularly review and update, appropriate procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information.
Children
Our website is not directed to or intended for children under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from such users. If we become aware that any user under 16 has provided personal information to us or we knowingly collect any such information from a user under 16, we will promptly delete such information.
Anonymous data (all website visitors)
When you visit this website we automatically collect some information which is stored in the web server logs. These logs contain a history of page requests. Information about the request, including client IP address, request date/time, page requested, HTTP code, bytes served, user agent, and referrer are added. A statistical analysis of the server log is used to examine traffic patterns by time of day, day of week, referrer, or user agent.

This website makes use of HTTPS for the authentication of the accessed website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data.
Cookies - Session cookies (subscribers only, after they sign in)
We use cookies only for the convenience of our users. Temporary cookies (session cookies) enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to login repeatedly during a session. If a user's system is idle for a longer time period, however, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to login again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorised access to the users information while they are away from their computer. Web browsers normally delete these cookies when the user closes the browser and cannot be used by third parties to identify you. We do not store persistent cookies on your device(s).
When you send us an email, either directly, or via one of the forms on the website, your name and email address and the message are automatically stored in our email programs and a customer relationship management (CRM) software application. The CRM is used to keep track of client and prospect details. Your Personal Data may be stored in our customer relationship management software and is stored on servers in Europe and on our local network.
