2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites store on the user’s device and read back on later visits. They can be “first-party”, when set directly by this site, or “third-party”, when set by external services. Similar tools (such as the browser’s local storage) are treated in the same way.
3. Technical cookies (always active)
They are required for the site to work and to provide the services requested by the user; they do not require consent.

4. Analytics cookies (only with consent)
The site uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Ltd., to collect aggregated statistics on site usage. These cookies are set only if the user consents to the “Analytics” category.

|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users pseudonymously | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Keeps the session state | 2 years |
5. Marketing cookies (only with consent)

6. Google Consent Mode
The site uses Google Consent Mode v2. Without consent, Google services do not set analytics or marketing cookies and may only send anonymous signals without identifiers (for example, that a page was viewed), which Google uses in aggregated form to estimate traffic and conversions.
7. Managing your preferences
On your first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject them or choose individual categories; closing the banner with the “X” keeps only technical cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page: Cookie preferences
You can also delete or block cookies from your browser settings. For Google Analytics, an opt-out browser add-on is also available: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
8. Data transfers and your rights
Google services may involve the transfer of data to countries outside the EEA, subject to the safeguards provided by the GDPR. For more information on the processing of personal data, retention periods and your rights, please read our Privacy Policy.
