Cookie Policy
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies (local and session storage) we use, and how you can change your choice at any time.
Version 0.3-draft ·
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage work in the same way. Some are necessary for the website to work; others are only used with your consent (in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland) or until you decline (elsewhere).
2. Categories
- Necessary — required to run the website securely and to remember your cookie choice. Always active.
- Own statistics — first-party, pseudonymous measurement of page views and events in our own database. No third parties.
- Marketing — Meta Pixel cookies for ad measurement. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland only set after you click "Accept"; elsewhere set by default until you click "Decline".
3. Your choice
In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland (and whenever we cannot determine your country) we show a banner on your first visit with two equal options: "Accept" and "Decline". If you decline, no marketing cookies are set and the Meta Pixel is not loaded. Your choice is stored for 12 months in the cookie pv_consent together with the policy version and the time of your decision.
Outside the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland we load the Meta Pixel without asking first and show no banner. You can opt out at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer by choosing "Decline"; that choice is stored in pv_consent like any other.
You can change your choice at any time — use the button below or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. If you withdraw consent, we stop the Pixel and delete the _fbp and _fbc cookies on our domain.
