Cookie Policy
Overview of the cookies used by this site, what they are used for, how long they are stored and how you can manage or disable them.
Like almost every website, this site uses cookies, which are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a page. They help the site function properly and allow us to understand how visitors use its pages. This page explains which types of cookies we use and how you can manage them.
We keep our use of cookies as limited as possible and do not intentionally place cookies that serve no useful purpose. On your first visit, we ask for your preferences through a cookie notice, and you can change your choice at any time. Without your consent, we do not place cookies that are not strictly necessary.
Which cookies we use
The first category is functional cookies, which are necessary for the site to operate correctly. For example, they can save your cookie preferences so that you do not see the same notice every time you visit. Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies because certain website functions depend on them.
We may also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site. This can include information about which pages are popular and how long visitors spend reading them. These insights help us improve the content without requiring us to identify individual visitors.
Third-party cookies
To measure website usage, we may use an external service such as Google Analytics. This service can place its own cookies and process information according to its own terms and privacy practices. Where applicable, we configure analytics settings with privacy in mind, including measures such as IP address masking.
We do not place advertising cookies ourselves or sell personal data to advertisers. If additional third-party services are introduced in the future, we will update this page so visitors can see which services may be involved.
How long cookies are stored
The retention period varies depending on the cookie. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser, while a cookie that remembers your preferences may remain for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies are generally retained for a maximum of 24 months.
After the relevant retention period expires, the cookie is automatically removed unless a new period begins when you revisit the site. You do not need to take any action, although you can also delete cookies manually at any time.
Managing or deleting cookies
You can decide which optional cookies you accept. Your browser settings let you block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a notification before certain cookies are stored. Browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge provide their own cookie management options in their settings menus.
