2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help a website function properly, remember choices, measure performance, and understand how visitors use the site. We may also use similar technologies, such as scripts, tags, local storage, or pixels. In this Cookie Policy, we refer to these together as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.

3. Which types of cookies we use

3.1 Necessary cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and for basic security, consent management, and site functionality. These cookies do not require consent, but we do inform you about them. Examples may include cookies that remember your cookie preferences; cookies required for security or technical operation; and cookies needed for essential website functionality.

3.2 Analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve the site, content, navigation, and user experience. We only place analytics cookies after you have given your consent. At the moment, this category includes Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity.

3.3 Marketing cookies. We do not currently use marketing cookies or advertising pixels as part of the current live setup. If we add marketing or advertising cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and ask for consent where required before placing them.

4. How consent works on this website

When you first visit our website, you are shown a cookie banner. Through that banner, you can: accept all cookies; reject non-essential cookies; or manage your cookie preferences.

Necessary cookies remain active because they are required for the website to operate properly. Analytics cookies are only placed if you give consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie settings option available on the website.

5. Cookies we use

5.1 Necessary cookies. These technologies are used to remember your cookie preferences and to support essential website functions. Our consent tool stores your choices in browser local storage (not as traditional HTTP cookies). Under applicable law, this is often treated similarly to cookies when it is used to store information on your device.

Consent and preference storage keys may include indicators that you have completed the initial cookie banner flow, and that you have accepted or rejected each of the necessary, analytics, and marketing categories. Type: first-party (local storage on your device for this website). Retention: no fixed expiry; data remain until you change or withdraw consent via Cookie settings, use any reset offered by the tool, or clear site data / local storage for this website in your browser.

Other essential local storage (site functionality): we may also use local storage to remember your light/dark display preference. This is separate from analytics and marketing and is used only for basic site functionality.

5.2 Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4. We use Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the website. Google states that GA4 JavaScript tags use first-party cookies such as `_ga` and `ga<container-id>` to distinguish users and persist session state, with a default expiration of 2 years unless configured otherwise. We only use Google Analytics after you have given consent for analytics cookies.

5.3 Analytics cookies: Microsoft Clarity. We use Microsoft Clarity to better understand how visitors interact with our website through tools such as heatmaps and session recordings. Microsoft explains that Clarity typically uses non-essential cookies and that, with consent mode, it waits for valid consent before setting cookies. Microsoft also lists cookies such as `_clck` and `_clsk` for Clarity’s normal operation. Microsoft states that Clarity data retention differs by data type, with recordings retained for 30 days and heatmaps/click data for up to 13 months. We only use Microsoft Clarity after you have given consent for analytics cookies.

6. Which data may be collected through cookies

Depending on the tool and the category, cookies may collect or help process information such as pages visited; clicks, scrolls, and navigation behavior; technical browser and device information; IP address; referrer URL; website performance information; pseudonymous identifiers; and session and interaction data. For more information about how we process personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

7. Third parties

Cookies and related data may involve third-party providers that support the website and analytics setup. In the current setup, this may include providers such as Google, Microsoft, Vercel, Supabase, and Resend. We may also use Google Tag Manager to manage analytics tags and consent-controlled scripts. Google Tag Manager is part of the technical setup for tag deployment, but the actual analytics cookies are associated with the tools loaded through that setup.

8. International transfers

Some of the providers connected to our website may process data outside the European Economic Area or may allow access from outside the EEA. Where required, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. How to manage or withdraw your consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time through the cookie settings option on our website. In addition, most browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if our website, cookie setup, or legal obligations change. The most recent version will always be published on this page.
