5. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
In accordance with PECR, we only place non-essential cookies on your device with your prior consent. You can manage your preferences at any time using the cookie consent tool on this website.
We use three categories of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They support page navigation, contact forms, and basic security. They do not require consent.
Analytics cookies (requires consent)
We use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to collect anonymised information about how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are visited and how long is spent on them. This helps us improve the site. IP addresses are anonymised. No personal data is sold or shared. You can opt out at any time via your cookie preferences.
Marketing cookies (requires consent)
If you accept marketing cookies, Google Ads may set cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to show relevant adverts on third-party websites. These cookies are only active if the website owner runs advertising campaigns via Google Ads. You can opt out at any time via your cookie preferences.
You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clicking the cookie preferences link on this website.

6. EMBEDDED YOUTUBE VIDEOS
This website may include videos embedded from YouTube, a service operated by Google LLC. Where YouTube content is present, we use YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed mode wherever possible.
Embedded YouTube videos will not load unless you have accepted marketing cookies. This is to prevent YouTube from setting cookies on your device without your consent, in accordance with PECR.
When you choose to play an embedded YouTube video (after giving consent), YouTube (Google LLC) may collect data such as your IP address, cookies, device information, and viewing activity, in accordance with its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
We do not control how YouTube processes this data.
