What are cookies?
Cookies are text files that your internet browser stores locally on your computer. Cookies help websites to deliver functionality that might require some memory of your actions. For example, an online shop would probably use cookies to remember the contents of your basket so that you don't lose all of your shopping if you close the page without checking out.
Many websites require cookies for the core functionality of the website. However, this one doesn't. So, if you want to, you can turn cookies off by changing the privacy settings of your browser.
How we use cookies
We use a local storage item (functionally a cookie) to store your consent choices. The only other cookies you will receive from this website are a PHP Session cookie that remembers your blog category settings (this expires when you close your browser) and ones used by Google Analytics and Google Ads that identify unique visitors to our website. We use Google Analytics to keep track of how many users are accessing our website, and to see which pages they browse through. Analytics help us to understand our audience so that we can deliver a better service to everyone.

Enhanced Conversions
The Enhanced Conversions feature allows Google Ads to access encrypted customer data from a conversion action (such as filling out an enquiry form) and then match that data back to ads viewed on other devices. This helps us track which Google Ads are useful to our business without using Cookies.
This only affects customers who are logged into their Google account when browsing our website. To control what data you are sharing with Google, go to: https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols. Google states that customer data will never be shared with other advertisers. Access controls and encryptions are in place to prevent unauthorised access to your data.
