Web Activity Reporting
We use ‘Google Analytics’ to monitor website usage. This records your IP addresss, and browser type, date and time of activity. None of this information is tied to a personally identifiable piece of data (like e-mail address). SpursWeb will use this information to analyse general page view and referrer activity to get a sense of traffic patterns and placement effectiveness. This information helps us to constantly improve the website for you the user.
Advertising
We also provide advertisers with sponsored articles and links from time-to-time. It should be immediately obvious where this is the case because of the topics involved, the calls-to-action and the outbound links that typically appear in such content (any such advertorial or paid-for content sold on the service is subject to a maximum 12-month term and may be removed subject to requirements from the Advertising Standards Authority, Google or similar such agency).
Newsletters
We will not send you email newsletters at any time unless you have expressly opted in to receive them.
Changes to this privacy policy
If this privacy policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties.
