Privacy Policy
The short version: we run no analytics trackers, sell nothing, and set two functional cookies. The long version follows, because the law rightly requires it.
What we collect
By default: nothing personal. This is a static site with no accounts, no comment system and no analytics beacons. Server logs at our host record standard request metadata (IP, user agent, timestamp) for security and are rotated on the host's schedule, not ours to mine.
Cookies and local storage
| Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| gala_cookies | Remembers your cookie-banner choice | Local storage, until cleared |
| gala_age_18 | Remembers you confirmed 18+ | Local storage, until cleared |
No third-party tracking cookies are set by this site. Following an outbound sponsored link takes you to the operator's domain, where the operator's own privacy policy and consent flow apply; our tracking link records the referral without carrying personal data from this site.
Writing to the editor shares whatever you include. We use it to answer you, keep correction correspondence for accountability and delete the rest on request.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you may request access, correction or erasure of any personal data we hold (for most visitors: none). Contact the editor; unresolved concerns can go to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
