What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on the user's device while browsing. They may be used to enable the Website to function, remember certain preferences or, subject to prior consent where required, collect statistical information about how its pages are used.

Statistical cookies - Google Analytics 4
This Website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, only after the user has given consent through the cookie banner.

Google Analytics allows the Data Controller to obtain statistical information about use of the Website. The Data collected may include, for example, the number of visitors, pages visited, duration of visits, device and browser type, and approximate geographical information derived from the connection.

_ga_*Maintains session state and enables Google Analytics 4 statistics to be compiledup to 2 years



Google Maps
A map provided through Google Maps, a service of Google Ireland Limited, is available on the Contact page. The map is not loaded automatically before the user makes a choice.

The map may be loaded after the user accepts cookies and non-essential services through the banner or, even if the user has declined them generally, when the user expressly chooses to display it using the “VIEW MAP” button.

Loading the map establishes a connection to Google's servers and may involve the transmission of technical Data, including the IP address, and the use of cookies or other tools by Google according to its terms and notices. Before the map is loaded, the Website does not make the corresponding request to Google.

Managing consent
On their first visit to the Website, users may accept or refuse cookies and non-essential services through the banner. Google Analytics 4 is activated only after acceptance. On the Contact page, Google Maps is loaded after acceptance or when the user expressly chooses to display the map using the dedicated button.

Refusing cookies and non-essential services does not prevent normal browsing of the Website; the user can still request that the map be loaded on the Contact page.

Withdrawing consent and changing choices
You can change or withdraw your choice using the link below. Your saved choice and any Google Analytics cookies accessible to the Website are deleted. The banner then opens on this page, where you can accept or refuse cookies and non-essential services again. Cookies can also be managed or deleted through your browser settings.

Third-party services and links
The Website contains links to external services and websites, including Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter) and Pinterest. These links do not, by themselves, cause the related services to load when pages are viewed normally. Any processing that takes place after visiting external websites is governed by the respective providers' notices.

The Google services actually used by the Website are Google Analytics 4, subject to consent, and Google Maps as described above. The fonts used by the Website are hosted locally and do not require a connection to Google Fonts.

How to manage or disable cookies in your browser
Users can also manage or delete cookies through their browser settings. Links to the help pages for the main browsers are provided below:
