Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in a comparable way. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site's owners about how the site is used.

We group the technologies we use into two categories: strictly necessary and analytics. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies on this website.

2. Strictly Necessary

These are required for the website to function and to respect the choices you make. They are always active and cannot be switched off.

• Consent preference — when you accept or decline analytics, we store your choice in your browser's local storage (key: wl-cookie-consent) so the cookie banner does not appear on every visit. This value stays on your device, is not sent to our servers, and does not expire until you clear it.

3. Analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed and how people arrive — so we can improve it. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

Google Analytics sets the following cookies:

• _ga — distinguishes visitors. Expires after about 2 years.
• _ga_<container-id> — maintains analytics session state. Expires after about 2 years.

These cookies are set only after you select “Accept” on the cookie banner. Until then — and if you select “Decline” — analytics is disabled via Google Consent Mode and no analytics cookies are stored. Data collected by Google Analytics is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You are in control of analytics cookies. You can:

• Select “Decline” on the cookie banner to keep analytics off.
• Change your mind at any time by clearing this site's cookies and local storage in your browser, then reloading the page — the banner will reappear so you can choose again.
• Block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you control cookies via their preferences or privacy menu.
• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to opt out of Google Analytics across all sites.

Because strictly necessary technologies are essential to the site, they cannot be disabled through the banner, but you can still clear them via your browser at any time.

5. Your Consent

By default, no analytics or advertising storage is enabled. Analytics is activated only when you provide consent through the cookie banner, and your choice is remembered for future visits. You can withdraw your consent at any time using the options in Section 4.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes take effect when we post the updated policy on this page, and we will revise the “Last updated” date above accordingly.
