Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functions such as authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
Because these cookies are required for the site to work, they cannot be disabled. They do not collect any personally identifiable information for marketing purposes.
Our essential cookies include:
- Session cookies — issued by our authentication system to keep you signed in securely. These cookies are HTTP-only (not accessible to JavaScript), use the
Secureflag (sent only over HTTPS), and are set withSameSite=Laxto protect against cross-site request forgery. - Consent cookie — stores your cookie preferences so we do not ask you to consent on every visit. This cookie is readable by JavaScript on our site so the consent banner can check your current preferences.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage patterns so we can improve the user experience.
Analytics cookies are only set with your explicit consent. If you do not accept analytics cookies, they will not be placed on your device, and no analytics data will be collected from your visit.
When you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects data such as:
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- How you arrived at our website (referral source)
- Your general geographic location (country/city level)
- Device type, browser, and operating system
This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. For more information about how Google processes this data, see Google's Privacy Policy.
