Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 November 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience.
How We Use Cookies
We use one thing in your browser, and only for one purpose: remembering your cookie-consent choice, so we do not ask again. We do not use cookies to track how you use our website, to build a profile of you, or to show you advertising.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential: your consent choice (the only one we use)
Stored in your browser's local storage so the cookie banner does not appear on every page. It holds only your choice, nothing that identifies you.
Analytics, functional and marketing cookies: none
We do not set analytics, functional, advertising or marketing cookies, and no third party sets them through our website. Our own cookie-free visit counter is described in the Privacy Policy.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.
Important Note
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
How to Control Cookies in Popular Browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Third-Party Cookies
We do not set third-party cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight, Google Ads, or any other advertising or third-party analytics anywhere on the site. We count visits ourselves, on our own server, without cookies, without storing anything in your browser and without keeping your IP address; we respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. See "Detailed Cookie Information" below.
Consent and Preferences
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to:
- Accept all cookies
- Accept only necessary cookies
- Customize your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the cookie settings link in our website footer.
Detailed Cookie Information
We keep cookies to a strict minimum. The only thing we store is your cookie-consent choice, kept in your browser so we don't ask again. Web fonts (Google Fonts) load to render the site but do not set cookies.
We do not use Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Ads remarketing, or any session-replay/heatmap or advertising tools anywhere on the site. Our own visit counter sets no cookie and writes nothing to your browser, so there is nothing to block or clear.
