3. Managing Your Consent
When you first visit the website we display a consent banner. Consent is optional and declining does not restrict your use of the site.
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it: click the Cookie settings link in the footer at any time. The same banner reopens and you can change your choice, effective immediately. You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings.
4. Third Parties
Analytics data is processed by Google Ireland Ltd. in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Without your consent the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all — no data is sent to Google and no analytics cookies are set.
We also measure traffic using Vercel Analytics (Vercel Inc.), which stores no cookies and creates no persistent visitor identifier. It therefore requires no consent; the processing is based on our legitimate interest in operating and improving the site.
