1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit our website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them). They can also be "first-party cookies" (set by our website) or "third-party cookies" (set by external services we use).

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

5.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect information about your usage patterns, which helps us improve our website and services. This information is processed in an anonymised form.

5.3 Google Fonts

Our website uses Google Fonts to display text in specific fonts. Google may set cookies when loading these fonts to optimise delivery and performance.

6. Google Consent Mode v2

We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which allows us to respect your privacy choices while still gaining insights to improve our services. When you adjust your cookie preferences, this system automatically adjusts how our analytics and advertising tools function:

• If you consent to analytics cookies, full analytics data is collected
• If you decline analytics cookies, only anonymised, aggregated data is used
• If you consent to marketing cookies, personalised advertising is enabled
• If you decline marketing cookies, advertising measurement is limited

This approach ensures that your privacy preferences are respected whilst allowing us to understand general website performance and improve user experience.
