2) What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies can be used to keep the site working reliably, remember preferences, understand how pages are used, and measure the effectiveness of advertising.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (small pieces of code that record page views or conversion events) and, in some setups, server-side event forwarding. These tools are only used for analytics and marketing after you provide consent where required.
3) Cookie lifespans and types
Cookies can be categorized in a few common ways:
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They help with basic site functionality during a visit.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. They can remember preferences and help measure repeated visits.
- First-party cookies are set by this website.
- Third-party cookies are set by service providers used for analytics or advertising measurement.
4) Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into three categories. These categories match what you see in our cookie banner and preferences panel.
Essential cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the website to function. They support core features such as session continuity and saving your cookie choices. Because these cookies are necessary for basic operation, they do not require consent in the same way as analytics and marketing cookies.
Analytics cookies (optional, consent required)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve navigation, clarify content, and maintain a clean registration flow. Where enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization or similar privacy features. Analytics are activated only after you choose to accept analytics cookies.
We use analytics in aggregated form. We do not use analytics to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects.
Marketing cookies (optional, consent required)
Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and, where configured, to support remarketing (showing relevant offers to people who previously visited the site). These cookies may be associated with services such as Google Ads and Meta advertising measurement. Marketing cookies are activated only after you choose to accept marketing cookies.
Marketing measurement may record events such as page views, form starts, and form submissions (conversion events). We do not sell personal data, and we do not permit providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes.

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes.
