Principles of our Privacy Notice

  • Necessary: We won’t collect information unless it is used to deliver a better service or to give you useful, relevant information.

Data We Collect From You

We receive information about you in two ways:

  • Directly from you– This is usually your contact details you provide via a form (e.g. to request further information or download a resource).
  • Automatically from the CarlGottlieb.com website: This includes your IP address and browsing behaviour. Understanding the way you interact with our site enables us to improve our service to you.

Tracking and Cookies

This site uses some essential scripts and cookies for security and content delivery purposes. These are from our webhost (SiteGround) and Cloudflare (Content Delivery Network). Fonts are served from our own webhost, so you don’t need to worry about any Google tracking going on with them.

The only tracking that takes place in this site is that performed by Google when you affirmatively consent to enable YouTube embedded videos by clicking the Accept button on an embedded YouTube video. This consent last for 180 days. When you give consent for the YouTube embedded videos, Google will use their DoubleClick scripts to enable cookies from doubleclick.net, youtube.com and www.youtube.com. Delete the “privacy_embeds” cookie in your browser if you wish to withdraw your consent. Delete the cookies from DoubleClick and YouTube if you wish to remove any Google tracking you have previously permitted. In Google Chrome, click the padlock icon in the address bar, then click the Cookies button to see the cookies loaded by this website. You can then select to Remove the cookies as you see fit.

Securely Using Your Data

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
  • To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may legitimately interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes. You can choose to opt-out of contact at any time.
  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
  • To notify you about changes to our service.

Occasionally we may incorporate cookie-generated data together with other data we hold to communicate with you in the most appropriate way. We may also compile and provide aggregate statistics about our site users, information requests, traffic patterns and any other related site information but will never identify you as an individual.
