How Delirium Academy handles information when you use this website.
Last updated: 27 July 2026
About this website
Delirium Academy is an independent personal educational project created by Professor Alasdair MacLullich. It is not an official NHS or University of Edinburgh website. Professor MacLullich is responsible for the operation of this site.
For privacy questions, please use the contact details on Professor MacLullich’s University of Edinburgh profile.
Information handled when you visit
The website does not require registration, a learner account or an email address, and it currently has no contact forms. The hosting and security services used to deliver and protect the site may process ordinary technical information such as an IP address, request date and time, requested page, and browser or device information. Those providers retain information according to their operational, security and legal requirements.
Google Analytics
Delirium Academy uses limited Google Analytics 4 solely to produce aggregate statistics and improve the educational material. It is on when a page loads unless you turn it off. Analytics is not used for advertising; Google Signals and advertising personalisation are disabled.
This use relies on the statistical-purposes exception in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the legitimate interest in understanding and improving this free educational service. You can object free of charge and turn analytics off at any time through the site’s privacy choices.
Google may process analytics information outside the United Kingdom under its applicable data-protection arrangements. Analytics information is retained according to the settings applied to the Delirium Academy Google Analytics property.
Knowledge checks and completion records
Names, answers and scores entered in the Introduction to delirium module are processed only within your current browser page. They are not sent to or stored by Delirium Academy.
If you create or print a completion record, the name and result are inserted into the page locally for printing. Delirium Academy does not receive a copy.
Cookies and privacy choices
The site uses necessary storage to operate the privacy-choice system and remember your choice. Google Analytics may set first-party cookies beginning _ga, limited by this site to 90 days. Delirium Academy has no advertising, does not use information for targeted advertising and does not sell personal data.
If you reject analytics, the site removes its Google Analytics cookies and does not load Analytics on later pages. You can reopen the settings at any time to turn analytics off or on.
Service providers and international processing
Technical information may be processed by providers that operate and protect the website, including 10Web, and by Google when limited analytics is active. These providers may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom, using their applicable contractual and legal safeguards.
Your rights
UK data-protection law may give you rights over your personal data, including rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction and objection. You can object to analytics through the privacy settings without affecting earlier lawful processing.
You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Because Delirium Academy does not create learner accounts or retain quiz information, it may not be possible to identify an individual visitor from an analytics or server record alone.
External links and changes
This website links to other organisations and websites. Their own privacy practices apply after you follow an external link.
This notice will be updated if the website’s services or use of information changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
