What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you browse a website. They can be used for technical operation, preference management, analytics, and marketing activities.
Cookie categories used on this website
- Necessary cookies: required for essential website operation and security. These cookies are always active.

- Analytics cookies: collect aggregated statistics to help us understand traffic and improve the site, if consent-based analytics technologies are activated.
- Marketing cookies: support campaign effectiveness and message relevance.
Legal basis
Necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest in providing a secure and functioning service. Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are activated only with your consent.

Additional third-party technologies may be activated only according to the consent option you choose.
First-party aggregate analytics without cookies
The website also uses a lightweight first-party analytics system that does not set cookies and does not create persistent visitor profiles. It records pageviews, page path, referrer host, UTM campaign parameters, language, device class, and approximate timezone to produce aggregate weekly reports on website performance.
IP addresses, full user agents, visitor IDs, session IDs, and device fingerprints are not stored in analytics reports. The system does not estimate unique visitors and is used only to understand aggregate page performance and traffic sources.
Retention period
Consent preferences are retained for 180 days, after which the banner may be shown again to refresh your choice.
If allowed, _ga and _ga_* cookies have a configured maximum lifetime of 180 days, without automatic renewal on every visit. User and event data retention in the GA4 property is set to 2 months; this setting does not apply to aggregated statistical reports.
Manage or withdraw consent
You can update your cookie preferences at any time by opening the cookie settings panel.
