1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by the sites you visit. They remember your preferences, maintain your session, keep the Site secure, and measure usage. In this policy “cookie” also covers similar technologies such as browser local storage and pixels.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to provide core functionality (e.g. remembering your cookie choice), protect forms against bots, understand how pages are used on an anonymous basis, and measure the impact of our advertising. No non-essential cookie is loaded before you consent.
3. Types of cookies we use
Necessary cookies: Required for the Site to work and stay secure; cannot be disabled. Examples: storing your cookie consent, security/anti-bot verification. Legal basis: legitimate interest / provision of the service.
Analytics/performance (Google Analytics 4): Let us measure how visitors use the Site in aggregate and anonymously (IP anonymization is on). Loaded only with your explicit consent.

4. Cookie lifetimes
Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: Remain for a set period (typically a few months up to two years). Your consent choice is stored for a reasonable period so we don’t ask again.
Durations vary by provider; you can always reset them by clearing cookies in your browser.
5. Third-party cookies
We use Google (Google Analytics 4) for analytics and Meta Platforms (Facebook/Instagram) for marketing. Google reCAPTCHA may also run for form security.
These providers may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies, and some may process data outside your country (e.g. the US). See “International transfers” in the Privacy Policy for details.
