Cookie Policy

What are cookies? #

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and help us understand how visitors use our content.
For more information on how we handle personal data in general, please see our Privacy Policy.

What cookies do we use? #

Strictly necessary cookies #

These cookies are required for the Site to work correctly and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information. We use them to remember your cookie consent preference and to protect form submissions against cross-site request forgery (CSRF attacks).
These cookies expire when you close your browser or within a single session, except for the consent preference cookie which is retained for up to 12 months.

Analytics cookies #

We use Matomo — a self-hosted, open-source analytics platform — to understand how visitors use the Site: where traffic comes from, which pages are most visited, and how long sessions last. Because Matomo runs entirely on our own servers, all analytics data stays with us and is never sent to Matomo or any other third party. IP addresses are anonymised before storage.
Analytics cookies are retained for up to 13 months, after which they expire automatically.

Legal basis: Consent.

Behaviour analytics cookies #

We use Hotjar to analyse how visitors interact with the Site through heatmaps and session-level analytics. Hotjar may record mouse movements, scrolls, and clicks. Form field inputs are always suppressed — any data you type into forms is never captured or sent to Hotjar. Data collected by Hotjar is stored on Hotjar’s servers (Hotjar Ltd, Malta, EU).
You can opt out of Hotjar tracking at any time:
https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out.
Hotjar cookies are retained for up to 12 months.

Legal basis: Consent.

Security cookies #

Our contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA analyses behavioural signals to distinguish humans from bots and sends this data to Google. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in protecting the integrity of the contact form.

Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

reCAPTCHA cookies are retained for up to 6 months.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests — protecting the Site and its users from spam and automated abuse.

How to manage your preferences #

On your first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. To change or withdraw your consent at any time, clear your browser’s cookies for this Site and revisit it — the banner will reappear and you can update your choice. You can also configure your browser directly to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Site functions.

Changes to this policy #

We may update this Policy when we change the cookies we use. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
