What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

How We Use Cookies

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our website:

  • Theme preference — remembers whether you selected dark or light mode
  • Cookie consent — records your cookie consent choices so we don't prompt you repeatedly

Essential cookies are always active and cannot be disabled, as they are required for the website to function.

Non-Essential Cookies

We currently do not set any non-essential cookies. However, in the future, we may use:

  • Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use our website (requires consent)
  • Advertising cookies — to serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense (requires consent)

Managing Your Consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to:

  • Accept All — enables essential and non-essential cookies
  • Reject Non-Essential — only essential cookies are active
  • Manage — set your preferences for different cookie categories

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies for our website, which will re-trigger the consent banner on your next visit.

Third-Party Cookies

Embedded content (such as OpenStreetMap maps) may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend checking the respective privacy policies of these services.

Google AdSense Cookies

If Google AdSense is activated in the future, Google may set cookies including:

  • _gid — used to distinguish users (24-hour expiry)
  • _gads — used for advertising personalization
  • IDE — used for advertising across Google properties

These cookies will only be set after you provide consent through our cookie banner.
