Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored on a user's device. The website may also use local storage or similar technologies to retain preferences and provide technical functions.

Necessary
Necessary technologies may be used for operation, security, language preferences and recording cookie choices. They must not be used for advertising or behavioural analytics.
Analytics and Google consent signals
Analytics cookies and all four Consent Mode signals are active by default. Users can keep Analytics active or select Reject non-essential. A stored rejection is applied before measurement is initialised.
Google Analytics 4 is used to measure website use and performance. analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization start as granted; Google Signals and personalised advertising remain disabled in the tag configuration.
Google Analytics 4
Until a rejection is stored, GA4 may create cookies and process information such as visited pages, approximate session duration, traffic source, device type, browser, approximate country or region and technical interactions. After rejection, cookieless pings containing the consent state and limited technical information may continue.
GA4 commonly uses _ga and _ga_<ID> cookies. Their final names and durations must only be published after the live implementation has been observed and verified in the browser.
Configuration and user choice
The current configuration enables Analytics by default. The banner discloses that state and lets users keep Analytics active, reject non-essential mechanisms, read more and change their choice later.
Keep active and Reject must receive comparable visual prominence.
Changing your choice
Users may change their choice through the permanent Manage cookies control. When Analytics is withdrawn, the website updates consent to denied, prevents new Analytics cookies and full measurement, and removes Analytics cookies that it can control. Cookieless pings used by advanced consent mode may continue.
Google Search Console
Google Search Console is used for domain verification, sitemap submission, indexing and technical search performance. DNS verification does not install behavioural tracking in a visitor's browser and does not, by itself, create website cookies. It should not be listed as a cookie tool unless the technical implementation changes.
Browser settings and updates
Users may delete or block cookies in their browser. Blocking necessary technologies may affect certain preferences or technical functions.
