Privacy & accessibility

Updated September 2026

Visitor statistics and cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits, engagement, traffic sources, research downloads, LinkedIn clicks and contact-form outcomes. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes device, browser and approximate location information. Google processes this information under its privacy policies and may process it outside your country.

Google Analytics loads only after you choose “Allow analytics”. Choosing “Decline analytics” leaves it off. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google signals are disabled in this site's tag configuration. We do not send contact-form names, email addresses or message contents to Analytics. The page and link URLs we explicitly send exclude query strings and fragments.

Your choice is remembered on this browser for up to 180 days. Analytics cookies are configured to expire after 180 days. You can withdraw consent through “Cookie settings”; this stops subsequent tracking and removes this site's accessible Google Analytics cookies. Previously collected data is not automatically deleted. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control browser signals keep analytics off.

With the same permission, we also retain anonymous aggregate page and interaction counts in our private site dashboard for up to 13 months. Those counts do not contain names, email addresses, IP addresses or visitor identifiers.
