Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Green Canopy Consultancy is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

Who We Are

Our website address is:
https://greencanopyconsultancy.co.uk

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here:
https://automattic.com/privacy/

After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Most images on this site are converted to WebP format using WebP Converter, a tool that reduces file size while maintaining clear, high-resolution image quality.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited that website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, particularly if you are logged into those platforms.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

We do not sell or trade your personal data to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.

You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website. This allows us to analyse information such as:

Pages visited
Time spent on pages
Device and browser types
General location data (city/region level)

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible and is used solely to improve the performance, usability, and content of our website.

Google may store this information on servers outside the UK and EEA. However, Google is committed to complying with applicable data protection laws.
