Google Analytics
Google Analytics helps us gain a clearer understanding of our customers by providing web analytics that tracks website traffic. Through this service, we can decipher age, gender, interests and more to help tailor the experience for each visitor. This knowledge helps inform decisions that drive success in marketing initiatives around the web.
Our services extend beyond providing the perfect content for you. We also partner with companies that collect data about your online habits, so we can tailor ads to fit your individual needs and interests. Your browsing experiences may be met with multiple relevant advertisements on our site or others due to our partnership with Google as well as other corporations. This helps us track how effective our marketing campaigns truly are by showing when people click through these adverts. You can take control of your ads experience and customise your display network by heading to the Google Ads settings page.

How We Use Cookies
- Cookies are essentially text-only data files that the site saves to your hard drive or other website-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes.
- We may combine information received from cookies to your account profile, where we hold personal data about you (for example, where it is provided to us during account creation).
- The website employs cookies and other technologies to aid in the collection of non-personal statistical data, such as which advertisements receive the highest clicks from our users or how much time a user spends reading the content of a particular page. These technologies assist us in improving our site, marketing activities, and your experience. By default, most web browsers accept cookies. If you prefer, you can configure your browser to reject and remove cookies. If you choose this option, there might be an impact on certain features or services on our site.
- While cookies do not provide us with personal information (for example, your name and surname), they do allow us to serve advertisements and other content that may be of interest to you based on the information stored by the cookie. Cookies are thus used to enhance your experience online, as well as for analytics and marketing.
You have the option of disabling cookies in your browser whenever you want, but doing so reduces the value you can gain in terms of useful and interesting content.
It will also remove any browser customisations you have made. Removing cookies may also remove your opt-out preferences from sites that use cookies to track unsubscribe/opt-out preferences.

| Performance Cookies | These cookies gather data about how visitors use a website, such as which pages they visit most frequently and whether they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that can be used to identify a visitor. All information gathered by these cookies is aggregated and thus anonymous. |

Cookies Behaviour
Here are some cookie behaviours on our website:
Session Cookies: As soon as an individual visits our website, a session cookie is created to keep track of their progress during the visit. This cookie is deleted when they close their web browser or wander away from the page.
Persistent Cookies: A persistent cookie file is stored on the user’s device and is reactivated when the user visits the website that owns the cookie. These cookies expire after a set date or can be manually removed.
Secure Cookies: Only an encrypted connection can be used to transmit a secure cookie (i.e. HTTPS). They can’t be sent over unencrypted connections (i.e. HTTP). This reduces the cookie’s vulnerability to cookie theft via eavesdropping. The Secure flag is added to a cookie to make it secure.
