Google Analytics

TheoryMates uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the site, including information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type and interactions with site features. We use this information to improve our revision materials, navigation and user experience.

Google Analytics is configured with Google Consent Mode. In regions where consent is required, analytics storage is denied by default. Analytics cookies, including cookies such as _ga, are enabled only when the user grants the relevant consent through the Google Privacy & Messaging consent message.

When analytics storage is denied, Google tags may send cookieless measurement signals under Advanced Consent Mode. These signals do not use Analytics cookies. Users can reject consent or change their decision through the “Privacy & cookie settings” link in the site footer.

Google processes Analytics data in accordance with its own terms and privacy information. For more information, see how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services .

TheoryMates uses Google AdSense code for site verification and, following approval, may use Google AdSense to display and measure advertising. Google and other advertising vendors may process technical information and use cookies or similar technologies when the AdSense code loads or when ads are served.

Google may use advertising cookies to show ads based on visits to this and other websites. Users can manage personalised advertising through Google’s Ads Settings. Where required in the UK, European Economic Area or Switzerland, TheoryMates will use a Google-certified consent management platform before requesting consent for personalised advertising.
