What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that store or read identifiers. Together they help the site remember preferences, maintain security sessions, and—when you consent—measure how pages perform.
We distinguish between strictly necessary technologies that are essential to deliver the service you request, and optional technologies that enhance analytics or marketing. Optional technologies are activated only after you make a choice through our cookie banner or preference controls, where required by law.
Categories we use
Strictly necessary
These technologies enable core functions such as load balancing, security tokens, remembering your cookie consent choice, and keeping forms secure. They do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive because they are strictly necessary to provide an online service you explicitly request.
Analytics
When you opt in, we may deploy first- or third-party tools that generate pseudonymous statistics about traffic sources, device types, and navigation paths. IP addresses may be truncated or anonymized by the provider depending on configuration.
Marketing
With consent, we may use technologies that measure campaign performance, attribute visits to promotional links, or personalize content on our own site. We do not sell personal data in exchange for money; any sharing with ad partners is described at a high level here and in our Privacy Policy.
How to manage preferences
You can accept all optional categories, reject non-essential technologies, or open “Cookie settings” to toggle analytics and marketing individually. Strictly necessary items remain active because disabling them would break basic functionality.
You can also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent features such as remembering your consent banner choice until you adjust settings again.
Typical retention
- Consent records: often twelve months, then renewed when you revisit and interact with the banner again.
- Analytics identifiers: depend on vendor defaults, commonly between six and twenty-six months, reset when you withdraw consent.
- Session security cookies: expire when you close the browser or within a short fixed period.
Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy when we introduce new tools or when regulators publish guidance that affects our disclosures. The “Last updated” line at the top reflects the most recent substantive review.
