Who we are
We are the Cambridge School Classics Project (CSCP), part of the University of Cambridge. This policy covers our blog at https://newblog.cambridgescp.com.
The University’s general data protection information applies to our sites:
https://www.information-compliance.admin.cam.ac.uk/data-protection/general-data
Contact form
If you contact us using our contact form, we collect your name, email address and the details of your message. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry. Your message is emailed to our team. We keep it only for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry, and do not share it with anyone else or use it for marketing.
To protect the form from spam, we use Google reCAPTCHA, which checks that submissions come from real people rather than automated spam. reCAPTCHA sets cookies to do this.
Blog contributors
If you write for our blog, we create a WordPress account for you so that your name, biography and photo can appear with your posts. We hold your name, email address, and the biography and photo you provide. Your name, biography and photo are shown publicly with your posts; your email address is not. We keep your account for as long as your posts appear on the blog, and you can ask us to update or remove your details at any time.
Cookies
When you first visit the blog, we ask which cookies you’re happy to accept. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie icon at the bottom left of every page.
Essential cookies are needed for the blog to work, and don’t require your consent. They are set by:
- our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare), to deliver the site securely
- WordPress, to check that your browser accepts cookies, and for logins by CSCP staff
- Google reCAPTCHA, to protect our contact form from spam
- our cookie tool (CookieYes), to remember your cookie choices
YouTube cookies: some posts include videos hosted on YouTube. YouTube sets its own cookies, which can track what you watch, so we don’t load these videos until you agree to them. Until then, you’ll see a message asking you to accept cookies in their place.
Vimeo videos: other videos are hosted on Vimeo, which we embed in “do not track” mode, so Vimeo doesn’t set tracking cookies.
We don’t use advertising or analytics cookies of our own.
Website hosting and statistics
This website is hosted by Hostinger. Like all web servers, it keeps standard records of visits, which we use only to produce basic visit statistics. These statistics don’t place any cookies on your device or identify individual visitors.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of any personal data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by using our contact form. For more about your rights, and how to raise a concern, see the University’s data protection information linked above.
