Cookie Policy

To deliver a stable, convenient, and personalized experience, we use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., localStorage). Non-essential cookies (analytics/ads) are enabled only after your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent anytime via the “Reset consent” link in the footer.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser to remember state or preferences across pages or visits. Similar technologies (like localStorage) may serve comparable purposes.

Categories

• Necessary (Essential)
  Provide core features and security (e.g., language, page state). These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
• Preferences
  Remember settings (e.g., theme, language). Often stored via local mechanisms (like localStorage).
• Analytics
  With your consent, gather anonymized usage insights to improve features and performance.
• Advertising
  With your consent, may show non-personalized or personalized ads (varies by region/provider).

How We Use Them

• Only necessary and preferences by default: e.g., remembering theme or language (such as preferredLocale).
• Analytics/ads (optional): loaded only after consent; no scripts run before consent.

Consent Management

• On first visit, we ask whether to allow non-essential cookies.
• You may withdraw or adjust choices anytime via the footer’s “Reset consent”.

Manage Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers let you block/delete cookies and clear site data. Look for Privacy/Security options in your browser settings for precise controls.

Retention

Necessary and preference data are stored on your device; durations vary by mechanism (session vs. persistent). Analytics/ads cookie lifetimes are defined by respective providers.

Third-Party Cookies

We only load third-party analytics or ads after consent; such parties may set cookies subject to their policies. Refer to each provider for details.

With your consent, we may use Google AdSense (ads) and Google Analytics (analytics). See the Google Publisher Policies, EU User Consent Policy, and Google ads cookies & data use. In EEA/UK/CH, we use a certified CMP (e.g., Google Funding Choices) to collect/manage consent and only load these scripts after consent.

Do Not Track (DNT)

If DNT is enabled in your browser, we continue to honor your consent choices; without consent, non-essential cookies remain disabled.

Updates

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced here and take effect as stated.
