Comments
When visitors post a comment on this site, the information displayed in the comment form is collected, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string defining the browser, which helps to detect spam.
The Gravatar service may be provided with an anonymous string made from your email address (also called a hash) that can be used to determine if you are using the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to this website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and view arbitrary location data from images on the site.
Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies that are not strictly necessary (analytics, advertising, and third-party content such as maps and weather) are only set with your consent. When you first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or reject them, and you can change your choice at any time by clearing your cookies or reopening the banner. We rely on your consent under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to work (for example, WordPress session and security cookies). They do not require consent and cannot be switched off.
Analytics: Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, on an aggregated, anonymised basis. It runs in Google Consent Mode with IP anonymisation enabled and Google advertising features switched off, and it sets no analytics cookies until you consent. Data is processed by Google LLC. See Google’s privacy policy.
Advertising: Google AdSense
We display advertising through Google AdSense. Advertising cookies, including those used for personalised ads, are only set if you consent through the banner. If you decline, you may still see non-personalised ads. You can withdraw consent at any time through the banner. For details of how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google’s partner-sites notice.
Third-party embeds: Google Maps and weather
Farm listings include a location map (Google Maps) and a local weather forecast (weatherwidget.io). To protect your privacy, these load only when you click “Show map” or “Show weather”. Until you click, no data is sent to those providers. Once loaded, they may set their own cookies. See the Google privacy policy and the weatherwidget.io site.
Managing your consent
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the consent banner, and withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies for this site. You can also control or block cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.
How long we keep your data
If you post a comment, the comment and its metadata will be kept indefinitely. The data is retained for the purpose of automatically recognizing and approving all subsequent comments, rather than holding them in the moderation queue.
For users who register on this site (if they have the option), we also store the personal data they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
What are your rights?
If you have an account on this website or have posted comments here, you can request to receive an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we remove any personal data we hold about you. This option does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security reasons.
Where do we send your data?
Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service that may be located abroad.
