Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, or scripts, may perform comparable functions. Cookies can be temporary session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or are manually deleted.

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for core website functionality, security, technical stability, cookie consent management, analytics, and website performance measurement where consent has been provided. Google Analytics is loaded only after consent; before that, no data is sent to Google. The consent banner stores the choice in the browser, where it can be changed at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer. Marketing or advertising cookies are not used unless clearly introduced, disclosed, and made subject to consent where required.

The website may use strictly necessary or functional cookies, analytics cookies, and, if introduced in the future, marketing or advertising cookies. The exact cookies used may depend on the website setup, third-party services, consent choices, browser settings, and technical changes made over time.

These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They may be used for security, fraud prevention, core site functionality, session management where applicable, platform stability, and cookie consent storage. Strictly necessary cookies generally cannot be disabled through the website’s consent controls, as they are needed for the website to operate. Legal basis, EU/EEA: strictly necessary cookies are used based on legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website and generally do not require consent.

Analytics cookies may be used to understand website performance and visitor interaction. These cookies may help measure pages visited, traffic sources, device and browser information, approximate location based on technical data, time spent on the website, and interaction with website elements. Analytics cookies are used only where consent has been provided through the cookie banner or cookie settings. Legal basis, EU/EEA: consent.

Marketing or advertising cookies are not currently used for active advertising purposes. If marketing or advertising cookies are introduced in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and consent will be requested where required. Legal basis, EU/EEA: consent.

The choice made in the cookie banner is stored in the local storage of the browser under the name gldc-consent and is kept for twelve months. After consent, Google Analytics sets the cookies _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier; they distinguish visitors and sessions and are kept for up to two years. The hosting provider may set strictly necessary cookies for security. Marketing or advertising cookies are not set. Because cookies may change when services are updated, this list is reviewed when the website setup changes.

Analytics cookies can be accepted or declined through the cookie banner. The choice can be changed at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer of every page; withdrawing consent stops the measurement and removes the Google Analytics cookies. Cookies can also be managed through browser settings. In most browsers, it is possible to delete cookies already stored on the device, block some or all cookies, and set preferences for future cookie use. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the website to function incorrectly. Browser instructions vary by provider, and the browser’s help section provides the most accurate guidance.

The website may use third-party services for hosting, analytics, security, and related technical functions. These may include the hosting provider and Google Analytics, where enabled and consented to. Third-party providers may process data according to their own terms, privacy policies, cookie policies, availability, and technical conditions. Where third-party cookies or non-essential technologies are used, consent will be requested where required.

Cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data, depending on the cookie type and service used. More information about how personal data is handled is provided in the Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy may be updated as the website evolves, services are changed, or cookie usage is adjusted. The most recent version will be published on the website with an updated “Last updated” date.
