We use a consent banner to collect and manage your choices for analytics and advertising technologies. For visitors in the EEA/UK, Google requires that consent choices are signalled to Google tags (Consent Mode).

• Essential technologies may be used without consent because they are required to provide the Website.
• Analytics and marketing technologies are only used after you give consent (opt-in).

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings”.

If you consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the Website (e.g., pages viewed, approximate location, technical information, interactions).
Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Depending on configuration and consent, data may be transmitted to Google servers, including in countries outside the EEA.
Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Data processing terms: We rely on Google’s applicable Data Processing Terms / DPA for Google services.
International transfers: Where data is transferred outside the EEA, Google uses appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable).
Retention: Analytics data is stored for 30 days and then deleted automatically (according to our Google Analytics settings).

If you consent, we use Google Ads to measure advertising performance and (if enabled) to support remarketing.
Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
This may involve:

• conversion tracking (e.g., when you submit a form after clicking an ad)
• audience/remarketing features (only if activated)

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
We use Google’s consent signalling (Consent Mode) to ensure tags behave according to your consent choices.
