We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to access or store information on your device. This helps us deliver a better and more personalised service.

5. Third-Party Services

We use select third-party vendors and service providers that assist us in operating our Site and delivering our services. These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

5.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyse how visitors use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the Site, compile reports on Site activity, and provide other services relating to Site activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information on Google’s privacy practices, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy.

5.2 Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other websites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info. Please note that opting out does not mean you will no longer see advertisements — it means you will no longer receive personalised ads based on your browsing behaviour.
