Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics data. We also use browser localStorage for similar purposes — it works like a cookie but is stored differently and is never sent to servers automatically.
2. Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies
Always ActiveThese are required for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled.

3. How to Manage Cookies
You can manage cookie preferences in three ways:
- Cookie banner — On your first visit, use the consent banner to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Click "Manage Preferences" for granular control.
- Browser settings — All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See help guides for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
- Google opt-out — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent GA4 tracking across all sites.
Note: Disabling necessary cookies or localStorage will break language and consent preference saving.
4. Legal Basis
Necessary cookies are used on the basis of legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). All other cookies are used only with your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) and in compliance with the ePrivacy Directive. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting previous processing.
