Performance / analytics cookies / statistics
These cookies and similar technologies help us understand how visitors use our website so that we can monitor performance and improve the Website. This may include information such as page views, navigation paths, page load times, device and browser type, aggregated traffic patterns, and interaction metrics such as bounce rates and time spent on pages.
In line with PECR, we provide clear information about cookies and similar technologies and obtain consent before we store or access non-essential cookies on your device. Analytics cookies (including Google Analytics cookies) are treated as non-essential unless we have configured them so that they fall within a PECR exception (for example, the “statistical purposes” exception) and you are given a simple, free means to object.
If analytics technologies are used for any additional purpose (for example, tracking individuals across services, profiling, advertising, or allowing a third party to use the data for its own purposes), then the relevant PECR exemptions will not apply and we will rely on your consent.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how the Website is used and to improve it. Analytics cookies will only be placed if you allow them via the cookie banner/settings (unless a PECR exemption applies and you have not objected).
