Google (Analytics and AdSense)

We allow Google to receive data collected on our Website via Google Analytics and Google AdSense, as described in the section "Google Analytics and Google AdSense" below. Google may use this data in accordance with their own privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our Website (e.g. pages viewed, time on site, device type). It may set cookies and collect data such as IP address, browser and device information, and usage data. We use this information in aggregate to improve our content and services. Where required by law, we use analytics only with your consent or in a way that does not identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by managing your cookie preferences via our consent banner.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense allows us to show advertisements on our Website. AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. Depending on your choices (e.g. via our consent management tool), ads may be personalised based on your interests or non-personalised. Google may collect and process data as described in their Advertising – How Google uses data and Privacy Policy.

By using our Website and accepting the relevant cookies (where we ask for consent), you agree to the use of Google Analytics and Google AdSense as described in this policy. You can change your cookie preferences at any time via our consent management or your browser settings.

Legal Basis (GDPR)

Where we are required to obtain consent for analytics and advertising cookies (e.g. in the EEA/UK), we do so through our consent management solution. In other cases we may rely on legitimate interests to use analytics in a way that does not identify individuals. Your use of our Website after accepting the relevant cookies constitutes acceptance of Google Analytics and Google AdSense as set out in this Privacy Policy.
