Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep them secure, and to provide information to the site owner about how the site is used.

Cookies do not typically allow us to directly identify you as an individual. Instead, they help us remember your device, your preferences and certain actions you take on the site, so that your experience is smoother and more consistent.

On this website, cookies may be set directly by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party providers whose services we use (third-party cookies), such as analytics and security solutions.

In general, cookies on this site fall into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary / functional cookies – required for the site to operate securely and correctly (for example, to remember your cookie consent or protect forms from abuse).
• Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited and how users navigate), so we can improve performance and content.
• Security and anti-abuse cookies – used by CAPTCHA or similar tools to detect bots, prevent spam and protect our forms and infrastructure.

Cookies Used on This Site

We use a limited set of cookies in order to keep the site secure, functional and to understand how visitors interact with our content. Below is an overview of the main categories of cookies used on this website.

1. Strictly Necessary / Functional Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the site and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or interacting with forms.

• cookieConsent (first-party) – remembers whether you accepted our cookie banner, so we do not show it again on every visit. Typically stored for up to 12 months.
• session or similar technical identifiers (first-party) – used to maintain basic functionality, for example to remember form state or navigation choices during a visit. These are usually session cookies that expire when you close your browser.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect anonymous statistics about how visitors use our site. These cookies help us understand which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate, so we can improve site performance and content.

The information collected by Google Analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify individual users. Where possible, we configure Google Analytics to use IP anonymization and to avoid collecting data that directly identifies you.

• _ga (third-party, Google) – used to distinguish visitors and generate statistical reports on website usage. Typical retention: up to 2 years.
• _gid (third-party, Google) – used to distinguish visitors on a daily basis. Typical retention: up to 24 hours.
• _ga_<container-id> or similar (third-party, Google) – used to persist session state for analytics. Typical retention: up to 2 years.

For more information about how Google processes data in the context of Google Analytics, you can consult Google's documentation and privacy resources. You can also use browser add-ons or settings to opt out of Google Analytics cookies if you prefer.

3. Security and Anti-Abuse Cookies (CAPTCHA)

To protect our contact forms and other interactive elements from spam, automated abuse and malicious traffic, we may use CAPTCHA technologies (for example Google reCAPTCHA or a similar service). These tools set cookies and use certain technical signals to distinguish between human visitors and automated bots.

• CAPTCHA-related cookies (third-party) – used to provide security checks, prevent automated form submissions and ensure the stability of our infrastructure. The exact cookie names and lifetimes are controlled by the CAPTCHA provider.

These cookies are necessary for the security of our site and to protect both our infrastructure and your data from abusive activity.

Managing Cookies

When you first visit our site, you may see a cookie banner that informs you about our use of cookies. By continuing to use the site or by clicking "Accept", you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.

In addition, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to:

• Block all cookies or only certain types of cookies;
• Delete existing cookies from your device;
• Receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary or security-related cookies may affect the basic functioning, performance or security of the site. If you block certain cookies, some features may not work as intended.

If you wish to limit the use of Google Analytics, you can also install the official browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics, or adjust your browser settings to block analytics cookies.
