Google AdSense

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors actually use our pages, so we can find and fix things that do not work well. Clarity records anonymised session activity, which includes:

• Mouse movement, clicks, taps and scrolling
• Pages visited and how long each page was open
• Screen size, device type and browser
• Approximate location, derived from your IP address at country or city level

Clarity masks the text you type by default, so we do not capture anything you enter into a field. We do not use Clarity to identify individual visitors, and the recordings are not linked to your name or email address. Microsoft may use this data in line with its own Privacy Statement.

You can prevent this recording by using your browser's "Do Not Track" setting, by blocking clarity.ms in your browser or an ad blocker, or by declining analytics cookies where a consent banner is shown to you.
