Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 October 2026
You can use the site and contact form while refusing statistics and external media. Optional categories stay disabled until you choose them.
Necessary storage
theme: localStorage for appearance, until removed. NEXT_LOCALE: technical language cookie, at most one year. sdf-consent-v2: localStorage containing separate statistics/Google-advertising/external-content choices, timestamp and version; valid for six months. These preferences are not used for advertising.
Previous generic choices are not Analytics consent: the new system requests an explicit category choice.
Google Analytics 4 statistics
Only if GA4 is configured and you permit statistics does the website load the Google tag. _ga and _ga_<identifier> distinguish browsers/sessions: this integration sets at most 180 days without automatic renewal on each visit. Service identifiers/session data are described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
Refusing Statistics blocks gtag.js and cookieless measurements. Enhanced measurement follows the property settings; the site does not add contact-field values to Analytics.
Google advertising features
This separate category permits Google Signals and advertising personalization configured in GA4. It also requires Statistics consent. ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization stay denied until explicit opt-in. No additional Google Ads tag is installed.
Google may use account/service data and technologies for authorized features under https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. Withdrawing this category reloads the tag without advertising features; consented statistics continue. Accessible first-party Google cookies are removed, not Google-domain cookies or previously sent data.
External content
Separate consent permits YouTube players and Apple/iTunes previews when opened/played. Providers may use their own cookies/technologies and browsing data; names/lifetimes can vary. See https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies and https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
The inline Allow this content category action enables external content, not statistics. Social links do not themselves load embedded players.
Manage your choice
The banner offers Reject optional, Accept all and Customize. Optional boxes are initially unchecked. Save preferences applies only your selection. Closing the first banner keeps necessary storage only. Scrolling/continuing is not acceptance.
Cookie preferences in every footer lets you change or withdraw consent. Analytics withdrawal removes accessible first-party GA4 cookies and reloads to stop previously loaded tags. Choice is requested again after six months or when saved data is unavailable.
Browser and providers
Your browser can delete/block cookies and local storage; doing so may remove language/theme/choices and show the banner again. This site cannot delete another domain’s cookies or data already held by providers.
