COOKIE POLICY

< Back to Home

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser that help websites remember information about your visit. First-party cookies are set by this website and support essential site functionality such as remembering preferences and recording cookie-consent choices. Third-party cookies are set by external services and are commonly used for analytics, marketing, and embedded media.

This site uses a limited number of first-party cookies to ensure core functions operate correctly. Where consent is granted, we also use selected third-party cookies to analyse site usage and help us deliver relevant content through advertising and measurement tools.

Consent, Cookie Usage and Data Sharing

In line with GDPR, this site requests your consent—via our on-page cookie banner—before enabling any non-essential cookies or third-party tracking that may involve processing personal data (including IP addresses), some of which may be stored outside the EEA.

Consent is managed through Google Tag Manager (GTM) using Google’s GDPR-compliant Consent Mode. Before consent is given, all Google services load in a restricted, privacy-preserving mode. If you click “Accept” on the banner or “Enable Consent” below, you allow Google services to collect, process, and store additional data in accordance with your granted consent for:

  • ad_storage
  • ad_user_data
  • ad_personalization
  • analytics_storage

More information about Google’s Consent Mode can be found in Google’s documentation.

If the banner no longer appears or the button below displays “Revoke Consent”, you have previously accepted. Selecting Revoke Consent will reset your choice. If you decline or revoke consent, non-essential cookies and Google services will continue to operate only in their restricted, consent-denied mode.

Essential Cookies / Essential Data Sharing

Some elements of the website rely on essential cookies to function. These cookies do not require user consent under GDPR as they are strictly necessary for the operation or security of the site.

Essential cookies may include:

  • Core WordPress functionality
  • Tools used to maintain site performance, security, or user preference storage

Google Services / Non-essential Data Sharing

This site uses Google Tag Manager to control the loading of:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Ads (including remarketing and conversion measurement)

Before you grant consent, these services operate in a limited mode that avoids the creation or use of non-essential cookies. Once consent is granted, Google may process additional data as permitted by the consent settings you have provided.

This site does not load any additional tracking software beyond Google services managed through GTM.

External Content

Embedded media (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo) is loaded in privacy-enhanced or GDPR-compliant modes where available. Interacting with these players may allow the provider to set its own cookies. Please consult the privacy policies of these third-party services if you have concerns. We are not responsible for the content or behaviour of external websites.

How to Remove or Block Cookies

You can delete or block cookies at any time using your browser settings. Many modern browsers also provide modes that automatically limit or block third-party cookies (e.g., Private Browsing or Incognito).
