Cookie policy
Last updated: 11 August 2026
1. The short version
This website does not install any cookies itself. Initially, it only stores your response to the notice so it is not repeated on every page. Analytics and advertising cookies belong to Google, are installed only if you accept them and are not created if you reject them.
2. What a cookie is, and what the other technologies are
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser to recognise it on later visits. Other technologies do the same under another name —local storage, for example— and the law treats them similarly because the effect is the same: something is stored on your device.
That is why the table below includes both, each with its own label. We consider this more honest than calling everything a cookie or, worse, not mentioning what is not one.

4. Exactly what happens if you say no
On the first visit, a notice appears with two equal buttons: Accept and Reject. Until you choose, none of the cookies in the table is installed. Rejecting takes one click, just like accepting, is not hidden behind a settings screen and does not limit any website functionality.
If you reject, nothing is stored on your device. What does happen, and is worth knowing, is that Google's measurement system receives a signal that the page was viewed: without a cookie, identifier or ability to link it to you or any previous visit. It is used to estimate, in aggregate, how many visits come from each ad, not to recognise you.
This is what Google calls consent mode, and it exists so advertisers can measure without installing anything on devices whose users said no. We prefer to explain it rather than omit it: the alternative would be a policy promising silence that is not accurate.
5. How to change your mind
At any time, without giving a reason. The button reopens the notice with both options, and your choice replaces the previous one.
The same button is in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies generally through your browser's privacy settings: each browser handles this differently and its own help explains the steps.
6. Third parties and transfers
Analytics and advertising cookies belong to Google, which processes that data on the owner's behalf and may do so outside the European Economic Area, with the safeguards detailed in the privacy policy. For personalised advertising outside this website, Google also acts on its own behalf and under its own terms, available on its website.
7. Changes
If additional cookies are used in future, this page will be updated beforehand and your consent requested again. For any questions: [email protected].
