Google Tag Manager

Sunglass Fix uses Google Tag Manager. This is a service which allows all of our cookies and tracking logic to be managed through a single user interface. Tags are small code elements applied to our website with the intention of measuring traffic and user behaviour. Google Tag Manager is solely used for the implementation of such tags; it does not include the placement of cookies, meaning that no personal data will be recorded. This said, Google Tag Manager could trigger other tags that may record data, but Google Tag Manager will not have access to it.

Deactivating cookies does not prevent Google Tag Manger from delivering the tracking codes.
