Consent categories
We group cookies into Necessary, Functional, Analytics and Marketing. Where consent is required, we do not load non-essential cookies before you agree.
Privacy-friendly analytics
We use privacy-friendly analytics by default and do not load non-essential marketing or analytics tracking before you consent.
Your choices
You can accept all, reject non-essential, or manage your preferences. We do not use dark patterns, and we store your consent record. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time from Cookie Settings in the footer.
No dark patterns
Our consent wording is clear and non-manipulative. Rejecting non-essential cookies is just as easy as accepting them. Continued browsing, scrolling or closing the banner is never treated as consent.

Third-party tracking
If we use tools such as analytics, advertising pixels, embedded videos or chat widgets, they are blocked until you give consent for the matching category. We review vendors before onboarding them and keep processor and subprocessor documentation ready.
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw your consent at any time by opening Cookie Settings in the website footer and turning a category off. We will not load those cookies again until you turn them back on.
