1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and gather analytical data about how the site is used.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in three categories:
Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential for the website to work. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The site cannot function properly without them. These cookies do not require your consent.
Analytics: With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, session duration, traffic sources). This helps us improve the website. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept.
Marketing: With your consent, we use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing features to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. These cookies are only set after you accept.
3. Third-Party Cookies and Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which means that before you accept, Google's ad and analytics tags operate in a restricted mode - no personal identifiers are stored, and ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization are set to "denied" by default. Only upon your explicit acceptance are these signals updated to "granted".
Third-party services that may set cookies: Google Analytics (google.com/analytics); Google Ads (ads.google.com); Google Maps (maps.google.com - used on our contact page).
