1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, like localStorage, work the same way. We use them to keep the site working and, with your consent, to understand how it’s used.
2. How we ask for your consent
We use Google Consent Mode v2. When you first visit, non-essential cookies stay off until you choose. Our banner lets you accept all, reject non-essential, or set each category. We store your choice for up to 12 months, then ask again. You can change it anytime using the link below or in the footer.

4. How Consent Mode v2 works
Before any Google tag loads, we tell Google that storage is denied by default. If you consent, we update the relevant signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) to granted. If you decline, Google receives only cookieless, aggregated pings, so no identifying cookies are set.
5. Managing your preferences
Open to change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, the site still works, you just won’t be counted in our analytics.
