We process analytics data based on the following legal grounds:

a) Legitimate Interests under GDPR and UK GDPR - to improve website performance and user experience.

b) Consent - for placing and reading non-essential cookies (see below).

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies via Google Analytics. These are non-essential cookies that require your prior consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive and PECR (UK).

When you first visit our site, a cookie banner will ask you to accept or reject analytics cookies. While our cookie consent tool displays the “Marketing” category, we do not currently use cookies for this purpose. This option is shown for transparency and to meet legal design standards, but no such cookies will be placed unless clearly stated in the future. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via our cookie settings (located at the bottom of the site).
