6. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve the user experience and measure the effectiveness of our marketing. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; however, some features of our website may not function correctly as a result.
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymised website traffic data. Google's privacy policy governs their handling of that data.
