This Cookie Policy explains how I use cookies and similar technologies and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your device when you visit a website.

2. Types of cookies used

• Technical cookies: necessary for the site to function (security, basic preferences).
• Analytics cookies: measure site usage; enabled only with your consent.
• Similar tools: localStorage used to save your consent choice.

3. Purpose and legal basis

The legal basis for technical cookies is legitimate interest to provide the site; for analytics it is consent, which you can grant or withdraw at any time.

4. Google Analytics (GA4) and Consent Mode

I use Google Analytics with IP anonymization and Google Consent Mode V2: before consent, analytics storage is “denied” and no analytics cookies are set; after consent, cookies may be enabled for aggregate measurements. Data is processed in aggregate for usage statistics.

5. Retention periods

Consent choices are stored for up to 12 months. If enabled, GA4 analytics cookies follow Google’s standard retention (up to 26 months) unless you withdraw consent.

6. Managing preferences

Manage consent via the banner or the “Manage cookies” button in the footer. You can also disable cookies in your browser; some features may not work properly.
