Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour on the Website. The Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting feature allows us to identify trends in the usage of the Website which may be published in reports for internal use and to develop the Website and content around our visitors’ interests. We use Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online and make ads more relevant.

Demographics and Interests data comes from the third-party DoubleClick cookie for web traffic. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the Website, how you got here and what you click on. We therefore do not use this tool to collect or store your Personal Information, so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

We have also turned on Remarketing with Google Analytics. Remarketing cookies will be used by third parties (including Google) to show our ads on Websites other than our own. We use Google Analytics’ Remarketing cookies to serve more relevant ads on third-party Websites based on your past visits to our Website or other Websites. Google operates the DoubleClick online ad serving product, providing advertisers, web publishers and direct marketers with the tools needed to plan, execute, and analyse marketing programs with greater ease and efficiency. Note: Cookies placed by Google for behavioural advertising, including the opt-out cookie, will appear as DoubleClick cookies.

Opt-out of Google Analytics

Using the Google Ads Settings, you can opt-out of both Google Analytics for Demographics and Interest Reporting and Remarketing with Google Analytics. In addition, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on to disable tracking by Google Analytics. Google is a Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) member, which is an organization committed to transparency and choice. The NAI opt-out tool was developed in conjunction with the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) for the express purpose of allowing consumers to “opt out” of the Interest-Based Advertising delivered by members on Web pages using cookies.
