1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Sites can also keep information in the browser's local storage. We use both, as listed below. For how we handle personal data in general, see the Privacy Policy.
2. Your choice
On your first visit a banner asks whether you accept analytics. "Necessary only" keeps analytics off; "Accept all" turns it on. Nothing beyond what is strictly necessary is stored before you choose.
If you withdraw consent, analytics stops at once and we delete the Google Analytics cookies from your browser.
3. Necessary
These are needed for the site to work and are allowed without consent.

4. Analytics (only with consent)
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Ltd., to count visits and see which pages are used, so we can improve the site. It is never loaded before you click "Accept all".
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Cookie | Tells one visitor's visits apart from another's | 2 years |
_ga_… | Cookie | Keeps the state of the current visit | 2 years |
Google may process this data in the United States; see transfers in the Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
5. Third parties
- Contact form. When the contact form shows a Google reCAPTCHA check, Google sets a
_GRECAPTCHAcookie to protect the form from bots. It is necessary for that form and lasts up to 6 months. - Cloudflare. The network in front of the site may set
__cf_bm(tells people from bots, 30 minutes) and, after a security check,cf_clearance(remembers that you passed it, up to a few hours). Both are necessary to protect the site and hold no tracking. - WhatsApp and phone links on ads take you to other apps or sites, which apply their own cookie policies.
- Banners. Banner images hosted by an advertiser are loaded from the advertiser's server. We count banner views and clicks on our own server, as totals per day, without cookies.
We use no advertising or tracking cookies. Banner code is cleaned of scripts and frames before it is shown. An advertiser's server that sends a banner image could still try to set its own cookie with it, as any website can; most browsers block such third-party cookies, and you can block them in your browser settings.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, logging in and sending forms will not work.
