What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.
Cookies help us understand how you use our website, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience. They also enable us to provide personalised content and measure the effectiveness of our services.
How We Use Cookies
ApexForgeres uses cookies for several purposes to enhance your experience on our website and to help us understand how our services are being used. Our use of cookies is designed to provide you with a better, more personalised experience whilst respecting your privacy choices.
We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that your cookie preferences are respected across all our tracking and analytics tools. This means that when you make choices about cookies, those preferences are automatically applied to all relevant services.
Types of Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gather insights about website usage, popular pages, and user behaviour patterns.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. They remember your preferences, language settings, and other choices you make.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve our content and user experience. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.

We use Google Ads for advertising and remarketing purposes. This allows us to show relevant advertisements to people who have previously visited our website and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

We use Google Fonts to display custom fonts on our website. This service may set cookies to optimise font loading and improve website performance.

Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows us to respect your cookie preferences whilst still providing useful analytics and advertising services where you've given consent. This technology adjusts how Google services behave based on your consent choices.
When you deny consent for certain cookie types, Google Consent Mode ensures that those services operate in a limited mode that doesn't use cookies for tracking, whilst still providing basic functionality and anonymised insights.
