3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to improve your experience. These may include:

These services may use cookies and process data according to their own privacy policies.

5 Advertising — Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalised advertising.

Google uses the DoubleClick cookie to enable it and its partners to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

We process advertising data on the basis of your consent. For UK and EEA users, we will only serve personalised ads where you have given explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the UK/EU GDPR. If you decline advertising cookies, non-personalised ads will be shown instead.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

6 Consent and Google Consent Mode

We use Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that cookies and tracking technologies respect your choices.

If you consent to advertising cookies, personalised ads may be displayed. If you decline, non-personalised ads will be served instead and no advertising data will be used to build a profile about you. Analytics may operate in a limited, non-identifying mode.

You can update your consent preferences at any time via our cookie banner.

7 Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data.

However, we may share data with trusted third-party service providers (such as analytics or advertising partners) who help us operate the website.

Some of these providers may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States.
