Cookies and local storage

Cookies are small files stored by the browser. The site also uses localStorage to remember your choice without automatically sending that stored value to the server.

Essential storage

WordPress uses technical cookies for authentication and administration, including wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_* and wordpress_sec_* when applicable. Login-cookie duration depends on the login options. The pll_language cookie remembers the selected language for one year. WP Consent API uses wp_consent_* cookies to communicate cookie preferences to compatible plugins; those observed on this site expire after 30 days. These cookies are not used for advertising.

gs_cookie_consent_v1 is a localStorage entry, not a cookie. It records the statistical-cookie choice, date and version. The application treats it as valid for 180 days. You can change it earlier from “Cookie preferences”. Essential storage does not require statistical-cookie consent.

Google Analytics 4 and consent

Google Analytics 4, ID G-2GNBVG90N2, is integrated through Google Site Kit. Analytics cookies are enabled after statistical consent. In the current Consent Mode configuration, the Google tag can load before consent or after refusal and send cookieless measurement signals. Refusing statistics therefore does not prevent every connection to Google.

NamePurposeConfigured duration
_gaDistinguishes consenting visitors’ browsers.Up to 24 months, subject to browser restrictions
_ga_2GNBVG90N2 / _ga_*Maintains Analytics session information.Up to 24 months, subject to browser restrictions

In the Google Analytics property, event data is retained for 2 months and user data for 14 months. User-data retention resets on new activity. These settings concern data retained in Analytics, not browser-cookie expiry, and do not affect most standard reports based on aggregated data.

Analytics cookies are configured to expire after 24 months, with expiry renewed on each visit. Browser restrictions may shorten their effective lifetime: approximately 400 days was observed in Chrome. Cookie lifetime is separate from data retention in Google Analytics.

The website does not intentionally send the fields entered in the contact form to Google Analytics. Google Analytics email-address redaction is also enabled.

Provider information: Google Privacy, GA4 cookies, transfer safeguards.

Accept, decline or change your choice

The banner lets you accept statistics, decline them or customise your choice. Scrolling or continuing to browse is not consent. Statistical consent is optional and does not control access to the contact form.

You can reopen preferences in the footer and withdraw statistical consent. The choice is communicated to compatible services and Analytics cookies accessible to the website are removed. In the current Consent Mode configuration, cookieless signals may still be sent. Withdrawal does not retrospectively erase previously collected data; contact the controller to exercise applicable rights.

The banner appears again if the choice expires or you clear browser storage. Choices apply to the browser and domain used.

Browser settings

You can remove cookies and site data in browser settings. Blocking essential storage may affect sessions, administrator access and form submission.

See the Privacy Policy for other processing.

Anti-spam protection

Contact forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish legitimate requests from automated submissions. Cloudflare processes technical connection and device information for this security check. The check is required to send a message. More information is available in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
