Cookie consent

Analytics (Plausible, Clarity) are cookieless and run without your consent. Meta Pixel (marketing) is optional - it loads only if you click "Accept all".

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Under EU law (ePrivacy Directive + GDPR), non-essential cookies require your consent before being placed.

How we use cookies

Analytics - no cookie consent needed: We use Plausible Analytics (self-hosted, cookieless) and Microsoft Clarity (cookieless mode, consent=false). Neither tool sets cookies, but they don't work the same way: Plausible shows data in our dashboard in aggregated form (page path, referrer, country, browser type), though it also stores individual events - we have not checked how long individual records are kept. Clarity records the course of an individual session - clicks, scrolling, input events, and the page's DOM structure, tied to a session identifier. "Cookieless mode" means no cookies are set - it does not mean the data is aggregated or anonymous. See our Privacy Policy for recipients and legal bases.

Marketing - consent required: We use Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram) to measure ad performance and enable remarketing. Meta Pixel sets _fbp and _fbc cookies and is loaded only after you click "Accept all" in the consent banner.

We use browser sessionStorage (not a cookie) to remember your language choice within a single browsing session. SessionStorage is not transmitted to our server and is erased when you close the tab.

Analytics
