2. Cookies, analytics & tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic and interactions, and support marketing. These include:

• Advertising & remarketing. We and third parties (for example Google and Meta) may set cookies, pixels or tags to measure campaign performance and to show you relevant ads on other sites and platforms, including remarketing to prior visitors.

Your consent and choices. By continuing to use this website you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described. You can withdraw consent at any time by disabling or deleting cookies in your browser settings, by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, by adjusting your Google ad settings, or via industry tools such as optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
