1) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use only the minimal set necessary for site operation and analytics cookies (GA4) only after your consent.

2) What we set on this site

A. Strictly necessary (always on, no consent needed)

  • Basic WordPress/session and security cookies (if present) to load pages, keep your cookie choices, and protect the site. These do not profile you.

B. Analytics (consent-based)
Activated only if you accept analytics in the banner:

  • _ga (first-party, Google Analytics 4) — 2 years — distinguishes users (pseudonymous).
  • _ga_<container-id> (first-party, GA4) — 2 years — persists session state. Google Support

We do not use marketing/advertising or social-media tracking cookies by default. If future embeds (e.g., YouTube, X/Twitter) are added, they will be blocked until you opt in.

3) Managing your preferences

You can set or withdraw consent at any time via the site’s cookie banner/settings. You can also block/delete cookies in your browser (see browser help). Refusing analytics does not impair core site functions but may affect our ability to improve the service.

4) Google Analytics 4 specifics

GA4 relies on first-party cookies and processes aggregated usage statistics. More about GA4 cookies (names, purposes, durations) is available in Google’s documentation. Activation on EU sites requires explicit consent under GDPR/ePrivacy. Google Support+1
