We do not intentionally send directly identifying information, such as your email address, to Google Analytics.
We may also use Google Search Console to understand how the website appears in Google Search. Search Console provides aggregated
search performance information and is not used by us to identify individual visitors.

  • Legitimate interests for operating, securing, and improving the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights;
  • Legal obligations where we need to keep or disclose information to comply with applicable law.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use:

  • Essential cookies, needed for basic website functionality, security, cookie preferences, and form operation;
  • Analytics cookies, used to understand website usage and performance, only where consent is required and has been given.

Google Analytics 4 may set cookies such as:

Google states that these GA4 cookies have a default expiration of up to 2 years, unless configured differently.
You can manage cookies through the cookie banner, where available, and through your browser settings.
If you reject analytics cookies, the website should still remain usable.
