Cookies
Our website uses cookies for the purpose of tracking user behaviours and enhancing your experience. We do not use Cookies to collect information for marketing purposes.

In addition to cookies, our website also makes use of ‘tracking code’ (often called beacons, or pixels) from organisations such as Google, Facebook, and Sharpspring. Google Analytics allows us to better understand traffic patterns and user behaviour while on our website, and the social media pixels allow us to share our news and services with you on these 3rd party platforms. None of the data collected through cookies, analytics, or social media pixels allows us to identify you as an individual (we don’t “see” any personal data about you, other than things like your IP address), and with regard things like Facebook etc, you can opt out of such tracking within Facebook’s privacy settings, and won’t impact you at all if you’re not actually a Facebook user.
For more information on SharpSpring, please visit their Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and EU Data Processing Agreement (which we are legally bound to comply with). SharpSpring has Privacy Shield certification. With this certification, European Union customers and visitors can be confident in the way SharpSpring processes and handles their data, and that SharpSpring meets European Union requirements in doing so.
As a business that relies on marketing, we do also run Paid Ads periodically using Google, Facebook and Instagram. For more information about how Google will use your personal data when you give consent on our site, please see link to Google’s Privacy & Terms site.
