Alongside Google Analytics, we use Google Signals. Google Signals compiles multi-platform data reports on Google users who have enabled personalised advertising in their Google accounts. We use this for its cross-device reporting and remarketing capabilities, thereby improving our effectiveness in advertising through Google Ads. All data is anonymous and we are unable to identify individual Google users.

When you first visit one of our websites, a pop up will appear to notify you that we use cookies and will allow you to accept all cookies, deny all non-essential cookies, or choose your own cookies settings.
If you select to choose your own cookies settings, you will be displayed with the different cookie types and you can toggle them on or off depending on your preference.
If you change your mind about your cookie preference, you can change your preference at any time. Simply find the link for ‘Change cookie prefrences’ at the bottom of this page, click on this and you will be able to choose which cookies to allow or deny.
