0. Overview
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Other cookies help us improve the site, personalize your experience, and measure performance.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They enable core site functionality (like security, network management, and accessibility) and help us improve your experience by remembering preferences and understanding how the site is used.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary: Required for the site to function (e.g., load balancing, security, cookie consent, user session). Performance/Analytics: Help us understand usage and improve the site (aggregated, pseudonymized where possible). Functional: Remember your preferences (e.g., language, market). Marketing: Personalize content or measure campaigns where applicable.
3. Legal Basis
For strictly necessary cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functioning website. For all other cookies in the EU/EEA (e.g., analytics, marketing), we rely on your consent under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. You may withdraw consent at any time.
4. Your Choices
You can accept only essential cookies or accept all via our banner. You can also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking non-essential cookies may affect site performance. To revisit your choice, clear the 'cookie_consent' cookie in your browser or contact us.

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them. Instructions: Chrome (Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data), Firefox (Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data), Safari (Preferences > Privacy), Edge (Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data).
6. Cookie Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary: session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain for a defined period (e.g., consent up to 12 months, preference cookies up to 12 months, security/session cookies up to 24 hours unless required longer for fraud prevention).
7. Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party services for analytics and performance. These providers set their own cookies subject to their policies. Where required, we request your consent before enabling such cookies in the EU/EEA.
