What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.
  • Preference cookies: These cookies enable us to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region you are in. For instance, we use a cookie to remember your dark/light theme preference.
  • Analytics cookies: We use Matomo Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics platform, to collect information about how you interact with our website. This helps us improve our website and your experience. The data is collected in an anonymized form where IP addresses are partially masked to protect your privacy.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party cookies on our website. Our analytics platform (Matomo) is self-hosted, and all data is stored on our secure servers, not shared with third parties.

Cookie Control

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

  • Delete cookies from your device
  • Block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse all or some cookies
  • Set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie

If you block or delete cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the website.

Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear asking for your consent to place non-essential cookies on your device. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.

How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

The length of time a cookie will remain on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or a "session" cookie. Session cookies will remain on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

Privacy and Data Protection

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Our use of cookies complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

To protect your privacy further, we have configured our analytics to:

  • Anonymize IP addresses by masking parts of your IP
  • Respect "Do Not Track" browser settings
  • Store all analytics data on our own servers (not shared with third parties)
  • Limit data retention to 13 months
