5. Cookies, advertising and the Meta Pixel
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the website to operate, while others are used for optional purposes such as advertising measurement.
Meta Pixel
Where you consent to marketing cookies, we may use the Meta Pixel supplied by Meta Platforms to understand actions taken on our website, such as page visits and successful enquiries. This helps us measure and improve advertising on services such as Facebook and Instagram.
Depending on your settings and consent, Meta may receive information such as browser/device information, IP address, website activity and advertising identifiers. Matching information may also be used by Meta to help attribute enquiries to advertising.
Non-essential marketing technologies should remain disabled unless and until the required consent has been provided through our cookie-consent mechanism.
For more information and to manage preferences, please see our Cookie Policy or use the cookie settings available on the website.
