Privacy

This site keeps a small, cookieless record of how pages are used, so the controls and layout can be made easier to use. No cookies and nothing stored on your device.

What is recorded

• Which page you opened, the site you came from (its domain only), your rough device type, browser, screen size, language and country.
• What you pressed: links, buttons and controls, by name. Also how far you scrolled, which sections you saw and for how long, and loading times.
• That a form was started, sent, or failed. Never what you typed into it.
• JavaScript error messages, so broken things get fixed.

What is not

• No cookies, no local storage, no fingerprinting, no advertising or cross-site tracking.
• No IP addresses or full browser strings are stored. Visits on the same day are grouped by a one-way code that changes every day, so they can't be linked from one day to the next or traced back to you.
• Nothing is sold or shared. The data is kept for 180 days, then deleted automatically.

Opting out

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, nothing is recorded at all.

Messages and The Dive Log

A message sent from the contact form or a Dive Log sign-up is emailed to Leighton through Brevo, the mail provider, and used only to reply or to send the newsletter. Every issue explains how to unsubscribe. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, also keeps standard aggregate traffic statistics.
