Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and how to change your choice. Last updated: September 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They make the site work, remember your preferences and, only with your consent, collect statistics about how the site is used.
Essential cookies (always active)
These are needed for the site to work and are set without consent because the site cannot function properly without them.

| area_session | Essential / session | Sign-in session for the private admin area (staff only) | Session (max 12 hours) | First party |
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
These load only if you accept in the banner. If you decline, these tools are never loaded and no analytics cookie is set.

Managing your choice
On your first visit a banner lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your mind at any time:
- through the Cookie preferences link in the footer, which reopens the banner;
- by deleting cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
Global Privacy Control
If your browser or extension sends the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out: analytics tools are not loaded and the consent banner is not shown.
Third parties
Analytics cookies belong to third-party providers, who process them under their own policies:
- Google: cookie policy
- Microsoft: privacy statement
For how personal information is handled overall, see our Privacy Policy.
