What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use it. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and require your consent.

Essential Cookies

The cookie_consent cookie is classified as strictly necessary because it stores your cookie preference. It does not track you or collect personal data. It is stored in your browser's localStorage.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies are only set after you click “Accept” on the cookie banner. If you click “Reject” or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are placed and no data is sent to Google.

We use Google Analytics 4 with the following privacy settings:

  • IP anonymisation is enabled.
  • No advertising features or remarketing are active.
  • Data retention is set to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.
  • Data is not shared with other Google products.

Managing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preference at any time:

  • Clear your browser's localStorage for this site — the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
  • Block cookies in your browser settings — most browsers allow you to manage cookies per site.
  • Use a browser extension — such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger.
