Your choices, kept simple

Essential cookies are always on for core functionality. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and only activate after you consent.

Cookie categories

We group cookies into three categories. This helps you understand what is necessary for the site to work and what is optional.

Quick note

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies, like pixels, can also be used for measurement and advertising when enabled.

Essential cookies

Required for core site functionality, security, and session management. These cookies support features like preference storage and protecting forms from misuse.

  • Consent required: No
  • Examples: session_id, csrf_token, cookie_consent_status
  • Retention: session duration or up to 12 months for preference storage

Analytics cookies

Used to measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content clarity and performance. We use Google Analytics 4 when enabled.

  • Consent required: Yes
  • Examples: _ga, _ga_XXXXXXX, _gid, _gat
  • Retention: up to 14 months

Marketing / advertising cookies

Used for remarketing, personalized ad delivery, and conversion tracking. These tools help us measure which campaigns lead to actions on the site, such as registration form submissions, and help us allocate advertising budget appropriately.

  • Consent required: Yes
  • Retention: up to 540 days (Google Ads default)
  • May include Google Ads tags and Meta Pixel when enabled
  • Supports remarketing across platforms

Manage your choice

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies at any time using the cookie preferences panel. If you reject, only essential cookies remain active.

How consent works

Our consent banner offers three choices. Analytics and marketing tools do not activate unless you consent. Your selection is stored in local storage for 12 months to remember your preference.

Banner options

  • Accept All: enables essential, analytics, and marketing cookies.
  • Reject Non-Essential: keeps only essential cookies active.
  • Manage Preferences: opens the panel where you can enable analytics and marketing separately.

Changing or withdrawing consent

You can update your choices any time by selecting “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer or by using the button at the top of this page. You can also clear cookies and site data from your browser settings, which will remove stored consent and show the banner again.

Advertising measurement and integrity

If you allow marketing cookies, we may measure conversions, such as registration form submissions, to understand which ads lead to actions on our site. This helps us improve relevance and avoid wasting budget. If you do not allow marketing cookies, you can still use the site normally.
