What Data We Collect
Contact Form Data
When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality (session management, cookie consent preferences).
- Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics (GA4) tracks anonymous usage data to help us improve our content. These are only loaded with your consent.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer.
Embedded Content
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that website directly. These third-party services may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. GA4 uses cookies to analyze how visitors use our site. The information generated by cookies is transmitted to and stored on Google servers.
We use IP anonymization, meaning your IP address is truncated within EU member states before being transmitted to Google. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and truncated there.
You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by declining analytics cookies in our cookie consent banner.
How Long We Retain Your Data
