This cookie policy explains how [COMPANY NAME] (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://cressbrook.biz (the “Site”).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.
Similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage may also be used. Where this policy refers to cookies, it covers those technologies too.
How we use cookies
We use two categories of cookies on this Site.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are most popular and how people arrive at the Site. This helps us improve the content and layout.
Google Tag Manager is a tag management system. It does not set cookies of its own, but it is used to load Google Analytics on the Site.
Analytics cookies are only set if you consent to them. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see “Managing your cookies” below).
