We use Google Analytics to track anonymous site usage data. Google processes this data in accordance with their Privacy Policy and may use it for their own purposes. Data is typically anonymised but may be linked to your Google account if you're signed in.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use Google conversion tracking cookies to measure when users take actions (e.g., completing a form) after clicking our ads. This data helps us assess campaign effectiveness.

Google Maps

Our contact page embeds Google Maps, which uses cookies to track your usage and location. See Google's privacy policies for details.

5. Consent Mode v2

We use Google Consent Mode v2, which respects your cookie preferences before any marketing or analytics cookies are placed. By default, we deny ad storage and analytics cookies until you explicitly consent. Essential cookies remain enabled for site functionality.
