Cookie Policy.
A complete inventory of every cookie this site sets — with the purpose, the lifespan, and whether you can switch it off. The list is short and complete.
The short version
Two kinds of cookies, and you control the second. Strictly-necessary cookies(security on the contact form) always run — EU law exempts them from consent. Optional analytics (Google Analytics) runs only if you accept the consent banner: nothing analytics-related loads, and no analytics cookie is set, until you do. Either way — no marketing pixels, no advertising trackers, no fingerprinting, no session-replay.
Strictly necessary
Required for security on the contact form. They run regardless of consent — under the EU ePrivacy Directive (Art. 5(3)) they are exempt from consent.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| cf_clearance | Cookie (Cloudflare) | Cloudflare’s bot-protection token, issued after a Turnstile check on the contact form passes. | 30 min – 30 days |
| __cf_bm | Cookie (Cloudflare) | Cloudflare bot-management — identifies and blocks automated traffic. | 30 minutes |
Analytics — optional, off until you accept
This site can use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful — but only if you accept the consent banner. If you decline, or do not answer it, none of the cookies below are ever set and the Google Analytics script is not loaded. You can change that choice at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes visitors to count unique sessions — set only after you accept. | up to 2 years |
| _ga_* | Cookie (Google Analytics) | Persists GA4 session state — set only after you accept. | up to 2 years |
| gb-analytics-consent | Local storage (first-party) | Remembers your accept/decline choice so we do not ask twice. Not a cookie; never leaves your browser. | until you clear it |
What we do not use
For full transparency — common third-party trackers this site explicitly does not embed:
- Google Ads conversion / remarketing tags (Analytics itself is opt-in only — see above)
- Facebook / Meta Pixel
- LinkedIn Insight Tag · Twitter/X · TikTok Pixel
- Hotjar / Microsoft Clarity / FullStory or any session-replay tool
- HubSpot / Marketo / Salesforce / Pardot tracking
- Intercom / Drift or any chat widget that sets cookies
- Heap / Mixpanel / Amplitude / Segment
Changing your mind
Use “Cookie settings” in the footer to accept or withdraw analytics consent at any time. Decline and the only cookies left are the strictly-necessary security ones, which you can clear in your browser like any other. Nothing non-essential loads until you opt in.
