Cookie Policy

Which cookies we use, why, and how you can change your mind at any time.

How consent works

On your first visit we ask you to accept or reject analytics cookies through a banner, with two equally prominent buttons. No Google Analytics script is loaded before you click "Accept". If you decline, a flag is still set that explicitly disables Google Analytics data collection, even on later visits. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, or by clearing this site's browsing data from your browser.

Technical cookies (always active)

Necessary for the site to work: they only store your choice on the cookie banner (fgm-consent) and don't require consent because they don't track browsing for marketing or profiling purposes.

Analytics cookies (with prior consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate form, how the site is used. They only activate after your explicit consent and remain active for 24 months from your last interaction, unless you withdraw consent sooner. Per Google's own documentation, Google Analytics 4 does not store the IP address: it is used transiently to estimate an approximate geographic location (city/region) and then discarded.

The Cloudflare proxy serving this site also collects aggregate statistics through Cloudflare Web Analytics: it's cookieless (sets no cookie at all) and doesn't require consent.

Managing cookies from your browser

In addition to the choice on this site, you can manage or delete cookies directly from your browser settings (usually under "Privacy" or "Cookies"); the exact steps vary by browser and are described in each browser's official documentation. To specifically opt out of Google Analytics across every site you visit, Google provides a browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated over time — for example if we introduce new cookies or following regulatory changes. The version in force is always the one published on this page.
