1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies can be necessary for core site functions such as security and load balancing or used for optional purposes such as analytics. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels may be used for comparable purposes.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes depending on your choices:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for core functionality, security and consent management
• Analytics and statistics cookies: to measure and improve website performance and content using Matomo and Google Analytics
• Performance and security cookies: to protect the site and accelerate delivery using services such as Cloudflare and caching mechanisms

3. Cookie consent and managing your preferences (CookieYes)

We use CookieYes as a consent management platform to obtain, manage and document your choices regarding cookies and similar technologies.

CookieYes may process your consent status (accepted or declined categories), timestamp of consent, a consent identifier and potentially your IP address depending on configuration.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings bar displayed at the bottom of your screen and on the page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

4. Cookies set by our website and plugins

The exact cookies used may vary depending on configuration and updates. Typical examples include:

• WordPress: if login or comments are enabled WordPress may set session or login cookies and comment convenience cookies
• CookieYes: cookies that store your consent choices and a consent identifier
• Matomo Analytics: if enabled with cookies Matomo may set analytics cookies to recognize sessions or visits and we may apply IP anonymization depending on configuration
• Google Analytics (via Site Kit by Google): Google Analytics typically uses cookies and processes usage data such as visited pages, interactions and session information
• Cloudflare: Cloudflare may set cookies that are necessary for security features and may process IP address and request metadata to protect the site
• Super Page Cache: caching may use technical cookies or headers depending on setup and often works without personal cookies

5. Third party cookies

Third party cookies may be set when third party services are enabled such as Google Analytics or when embedded content from other websites is displayed. Those third parties may process data under their own privacy policies.

6. How to control cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings such as blocking, deleting or restricting cookies. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impact website functionality.
