Our Website is built on WordPress with Elementor for page design and forms, integrates Google Analytics for usage analytics, Google Search Console for performance insights, Google Fonts for typography, and a cookie consent banner (likely via a plugin such as CookieYes, Complianz, or similar) to manage user preferences.

Cookies are small text files placed on Your Device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when You visit a website. They allow the site or a third-party service to recognize Your browser/device and remember certain information (preferences, login status, analytics data, etc.).

Similar technologies we may use include:

  • Web beacons / pixel tags / clear GIFs
  • Local storage (HTML5)
  • Session storage
  • Fingerprinting scripts

For simplicity, all these are referred to as “cookies” in this policy.

We use cookies to:

  • Improve user experience and site speed
  • Manage consent choices

We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising or profiling without explicit consent where required.

When You visit our site for the first time (or after clearing cookies), You will see a cookie banner that lets You:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject non-essential cookies
  • Customize Your preferences (analytics, functionality, etc.)

You can change Your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer or by clearing cookies in Your browser.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent the site from working properly (e.g., login, forms).

Opt-out of Google Analytics: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or use Your browser’s Do Not Track feature (note: we honor consent via banner more precisely than DNT).

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time (e.g., new plugins, legal changes). Material changes will be notified via the cookie banner, email (if You subscribed), or a prominent notice on the Website. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when changes were made.
