These are necessary for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include remembering your cookie consent choice (stored in local storage under a key such as ww_cookie_consent_v1) and basic security/load behaviour provided by our hosting platform.

Legal basis: legitimate interests / strictly necessary. Duration: typically session to 1 year for consent preference.

4. Analytics cookies (optional)

If you click “Accept analytics” on our banner, we load Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic: pages viewed, approximate geography, device/browser type, and referral sources. This helps us improve content and performance.

GA4 is provided by Google. Data may be processed in the United States or other regions where Google operates, subject to Google’s terms and safeguards.

We configure analytics with IP anonymisation where supported. Analytics scripts are not loaded until you consent.

Legal basis: consent. You may withdraw consent at any time using the controls on this page or by clearing site data in your browser.

Typical retention in GA4: up to 14-26 months depending on property settings.

5. Marketing cookies

We do not currently use advertising or marketing pixels on this marketing website.

6. Managing cookies

On your first visit you can choose “Accept analytics” or “Essential only”. Your choice is stored locally so we do not ask on every page load.

You can change your mind below, or clear cookies/local storage via browser settings. You may also use Google’s browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Blocking all cookies may affect site features (including storing your consent preference).
