Changes to Our Data Collection Practices with Google Consent Mode V2

Effective Date: 9th July 2024

We are updating this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in how we collect and process data through Google products like Google Analytics and Google Ads. These changes are driven by the introduction of Google Consent Mode V2, which provides users with more granular control over their consent choices.

What is Google Consent Mode V2?

Google Consent Mode V2 is a tool that allows us to understand how you have interacted with our website’s consent banner regarding cookies and data collection. Based on your selections, Google tags will adjust their behaviour accordingly.

How Does This Affect You?

When you visit our website, you may encounter a consent banner that asks for your permission to use certain cookies and technologies. Your choices will determine how we collect and use your data for purposes like website analytics and advertising.

Consent Options: The consent banner may offer various options, such as accepting all cookies, rejecting all cookies, or customising your choices for different categories of data collection (e.g., analytics, advertising personalisation).

Data Collection Based on Consent: We will only collect and use your data for the purposes you have consented to. For example, if you decline consent for advertising personalisation, Google tags will not collect data used to personalise ads for you.

Our Commitment to Transparency and Control

We are committed to respecting your privacy and providing you with control over your data. By implementing Google Consent Mode V2, we aim to be more transparent about how your data is collected and used.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We have reviewed and updated this Privacy Policy to reflect the functionalities of Google Consent Mode V2. We may update this section further as Google Consent Mode or our practices evolve.
