How this website uses cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Google Ads measurement is currently paused: this website does not load the Google tag or send advertising conversion events. AZ's website code does not currently use other optional advertising or analytics cookies. Some cookies from earlier consent may remain until they are removed by the browser or the site.

Previous AZ consent cookie

We no longer set this cookie while advertising measurement is paused. It was used to remember an earlier choice, and the site attempts to remove existing copies when visited.

Purpose

Previously remembered whether you accepted or rejected optional advertising measurement.

Previously used Google Ads measurement

Before the pause, Google Ads technology could store or read measurement cookies after you accepted optional advertising measurement. This was used for website-enquiry and phone-link conversion measurement. The tag is not loaded and new conversion events are not sent while paused. The site attempts to remove known Google Ads cookies that browser JavaScript can access.

When used

Previously, only after the visitor accepted optional advertising measurement.

Production verification confirmed the _gcl_au cookie in the circumstances described above. The particular Google measurement cookies present can still vary according to the browser, attribution context and Google's technology, so other Google cookies may be used in different circumstances. Google explains its use of cookies and information in its cookies information and Privacy Policy.

During the pause

There is no advertising measurement choice to make while it is paused. The site attempts to clear your previous preference and known Google Ads cookies it can access. This does not erase information already sent to Google while consent was active. A fresh choice would be required before any future measurement.

Browser controls

You can view or delete remaining cookies using your browser's privacy or site-data settings. Blocking all cookies in your browser may affect how websites remember preferences.
