### Mailing-list communications
We send marketing and update emails to mailing-list subscribers on the basis of **consent**.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option contained in our emails or by contacting us.
### Responding to enquiries
We process information submitted in enquiries because:

### Legal obligations
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with a **legal obligation**, respond to lawful requests or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
### Analytics
If website analytics are used, the lawful basis will depend on the type of technology and information involved.
Where analytics fall within an applicable PECR exception for statistical purposes, they may be used without prior cookie consent where the legal conditions for that exception are satisfied, including appropriate transparency and a simple means of objecting.
Where consent is required under PECR or UK data protection law, the relevant analytics or tracking technology will only be used after consent has been obtained.

Where we rely on the statistical-purpose exception available under PECR, the information will only be used for qualifying statistical purposes and users will be provided with the information and objection mechanism required by law.
If analytics or other technologies fall outside an applicable exemption, we will obtain consent before using them.
### Third-party and embedded content
Pages may contain links to or content provided by third-party services such as music, video or social-media platforms.
These services may collect information or use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies. Where their technologies require consent before being activated on our website, they should only be activated after that consent has been provided.
