5.1 Google advertising and third parties

If Google-served ads are displayed, Google and other third-party vendors may place and read cookies, use web beacons, or use IP addresses and other identifiers to serve and measure ads. We do not use contact-form or newsletter data to identify a visitor in an advertising request. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services.

Before enabling advertising or analytics where consent is required, the publisher must configure a Google-certified consent management platform and honor the choices it records. This configuration is managed in the relevant Google product account rather than through this policy page.
