What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website, understand how you use our service, and improve our offerings. Our use of cookies is minimal and focused on providing essential functionality and understanding user behavior in aggregate.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as:

• Authentication: Remembering that you're logged in to your account
• Security: Protecting your account from unauthorized access
• Session management: Maintaining your session state across pages
• Cookie consent: Remembering your cookie preferences

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are strictly necessary for the operation of our service and are set based on your actions (logging in, setting preferences, etc.).

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract performance) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest)

Retention period: Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or up to 1 year for persistent cookies

2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are most popular and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) with Consent Mode v2 to manage analytics in a privacy-compliant manner. By default, all tracking is disabled. Analytics will only be activated if you explicitly consent through our cookie banner.

When you accept analytics cookies, we may use Google Analytics 4 to collect:

• Page views and session information
• Referral sources and traffic patterns
• Browser and device information
• Anonymized user behavior data

Important: IP addresses are anonymized, and no personally identifiable information is collected. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent)

Retention period: Up to 14 months (Google Analytics 4 default)

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
