Google Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to measure site audience in an aggregated, anonymous way: page views, visit duration, country, device type. IP is anonymised before storage and data is never used for advertising or sold. Data is hosted on Google servers and may be transferred outside the EU under Standard Contractual Clauses. Retention: 14 months. See Google's privacy policy.
Withdrawing your consent
You can withdraw your consent at any time: clear the site's data in your browser (Settings → Privacy → Clear data). The consent banner will reappear on your next visit. You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out add-on.
Local storage (localStorage)
We also use your browser's local storage to remember preferences. This isn't a cookie and this data is never sent to our servers:
