7. Cookies and Cookie Consent

Cookies are small files or identifiers used by websites to support functionality, remember preferences, and measure website activity.

Our website uses CookieYes to manage cookie consent and visitor preferences.

Our most recent cookie scan identified five cookies in two categories:

These cookies support essential website functions and consent preferences. Strictly necessary cookies do not ordinarily require prior consent under applicable European cookie rules.

Where required, visitors may choose whether to permit nonessential cookies.

Our cookie-consent system provides options to accept optional cookies, reject them, or manage cookie preferences.
