1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the site.
Cookies may be classified as:
- Session cookies — temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — files that remain on your device for a defined period, or until you delete them
- First-party cookies — set directly by the website you are visiting
- Third-party cookies — set by a different domain than the website you are visiting (e.g. analytics providers)
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small, focused set of cookies categorized as essential, security, and analytics. We do not use advertising or behavioral tracking cookies of any kind.
Fonts & third-party resources
We load web fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When you visit our site, your browser may request font files from Google. Google may process connection data (such as IP address) as described in Google’s Privacy Policy. We do not use fonts to track you for advertising. Analytics (below) loads only if you accept cookies via our banner.
3. Essential Cookies

6. Your Choices & Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear. You have two choices:
- Accept All — both essential and analytics cookies will be enabled. This helps us improve our website.
- Reject Non-Essential — only strictly necessary cookies are used. No analytics cookies will be placed. Your browsing experience on this site is fully functional with this choice.
Your preference is stored locally on your device for 1 year. To change your preference at any time, clear your browser's cookies (which resets your stored consent) and reload the page — the consent banner will reappear.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any cookie use prior to your withdrawal.
