Your choice
The banner at the bottom of the page offers Accept and Reject with equal weight. Reject is the default until you choose. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings in the footer. If you reject, or withdraw an earlier acceptance, analytics and advertising storage stay denied and any Analytics cookies we can see are removed.
In the UK, Switzerland and the European Economic Area that default is denied before any optional tag runs. The same denied default applies everywhere else as well.

The privacy notice covers the contact form. If analytics or ads are switched on later, Google's own notice is How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can also review ad personalisation in Google Ads Settings.
