Met Office UPDATE: Jan 4th 2023 To use Met Office weather map. The Met Office requires cookies, which cannot be set when the map is embedded in this site, so

• I have my weather page to open another tab with the Met Office map, where the cookies can be set. This then allows the embedded map not to ask for cookies each time it is accessed.
• POPUPS Generally I do not allow Popups but in this case the extra tab, which is created by this website, is classed as a Popup, so I had to allow Popups for calstock.org.uk
• The final step was to close the extra tab containing the full-on Met Office map which is timed at 1 second after opening. This is not ideal as the second 'Met Office' tab will open briefly

Personal Data: A person's name, address, date of birth even IP address is called 'personal data' and can be used to identifying a living individual. If you have any concerns please contact me via the link in the header. Your IP address is obtainable from any server. The EU legislation considers this may be personal as it can relate to your location. This is often very vague as IP addresses are allocated from a pool each time you connect, or a connection is reset. If you have a static IP, as I do, the ISP can by law be forced to release the address etc, otherwise an IP address does not relate to your residence. Given the easy access to an IP address there is little benefit of storing this info in a cookie, and hence I would not consider it a breach of the EU's GDPR. Servers and third party websites have ample room to store such info. Whatever info they may share is beyond the visitors' say.
