4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Google Ads). These third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookie data. We do not control these third-party cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance. We rely on our cookie consent mechanism to honour your preferences.
