This page explains how Highwire Magazine handles information collected through highwire-magazine.co.uk and how cookies and similar technologies may be used.
Who we are
Highwire Magazine is an independent publication covering music, culture and sport.
Information we collect
We may receive information you choose to provide through contact forms, comments or other direct communication with us. Our website may also collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information and pages visited for security, performance and analytics purposes.
Cookies and analytics
Highwire uses CookieYes to provide cookie consent controls and remember the choices visitors make about non-essential cookies. You can accept, reject or manage those choices through the consent banner and settings available on the site.
We use Google Analytics through Site Kit by Google to understand how readers use Highwire, including which pages are visited and how people arrive at the site. Google Consent Mode is enabled so analytics storage is denied by default for visitors in the UK and other covered regions until the appropriate consent is given.
Strictly necessary cookies may still be used where they are required for the website to function, remain secure or remember a choice you have asked the site to keep. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Embedded content
Articles may include embedded content from third-party services, such as video, audio, social media or other websites. These services may collect information about your interaction with the embedded content and may use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Where those technologies are non-essential and require consent, they should be controlled in line with your cookie choices.
Comments and spam protection
If comments are enabled, information submitted through the comment form may be processed for moderation and spam prevention. This can include your IP address and browser information.
How information may be shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help us operate, secure or measure the website, including hosting, analytics, security, consent-management and spam-prevention services.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, or where we need to retain it for legal, administrative or security reasons.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over personal information we hold about you, including rights to access, correct or request deletion of that information. To make a privacy-related request, please use our contact page.
Changes to this page
We may update this notice when the way the site operates changes. The latest version will always be published on this page.
