2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or phone. They let the site work properly and can record how you use it. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser ("session" cookies). Others stay until they expire or you delete them ("persistent" cookies).
3. Your choice
When you first visit our site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Accepting and rejecting are equally easy. Analytics cookies stay switched off unless you accept them.
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link shown on every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site, such as the contact form, may not work.
4. The cookies we use
Essential cookies (always on)
These are needed for the website to work and to keep it secure. The law does not require your consent for them.
- Website session cookie (set by our website software, Joomla): keeps the site working while you browse, for example when you send the contact form. Deleted when you close your browser.
- Cookie consent cookie (set by our cookie banner, n3t Cookie Consent): remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every page. Kept for up to 12 months.
- Google reCAPTCHA (_GRECAPTCHA, set by Google): protects the contact form from spam and automated abuse. Kept for up to 6 months. See policies.google.com/privacy.
Analytics cookies (only if you accept them)
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics, provided by Google.
- _ga: distinguishes one visitor from another. Kept for up to 2 years.
- _ga_<ID>: keeps track of your visit (session). Kept for up to 2 years.
Google Analytics tells us, for example, which pages are visited, how long people stay, how they arrived at the site, the type of device and browser used, and the visitor's approximate location (city or region). We do not use it to identify you, and Google Analytics does not store your IP address. Google keeps this data for 14 months. You can block Google Analytics on all websites with Google's opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We do not use advertising, re-marketing or social media tracking cookies.
5. Links to other websites
Our pages link to LinkedIn, Facebook and X (Twitter). We do not place their cookies on our site. If you follow those links, those sites may set their own cookies under their own policies.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example if we add or remove a cookie. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
