Cookie Policy

This site uses no cookies of its own, no advertising cookies and no tracking cookies. It stores two preferences in your browser's local storage and embeds a Google map, which is the only third party able to set cookies here.

A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser and that is sent back to it on every visit. It is used to remember preferences, keep sessions or follow your behaviour across sites. Local storage is similar in effect — it keeps information in your browser — but it is never sent to the server.

• Language preference — local storage. Used so the site opens again in the language you chose. Kept until you clear your browser data. • Privacy notice — local storage. Used so the footer notice does not reappear once you dismiss it. Kept until you clear your browser data. Neither of these is a cookie and neither is sent to our servers.

We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to know how many people visit the site, which pages they see and how fast pages load. Neither uses cookies nor identifies people: the data is aggregated and anonymous. More detail in the Privacy Policy.

The «Where we are» section has a Google map that does NOT load on its own: in its place there is a panel of ours with a button. Only if you press it is the map requested from Google — and that is when your IP address is sent to them and they may set their own cookies in your browser. Until you press it, nothing leaves this site for Google.

You can clear local storage and cookies in your browser settings, usually under "Privacy and security". You can also block third-party cookies — the site keeps working; only the embedded map may stop appearing. None of these choices affects what this site shows you.

If we ever start using cookies — for example with a chat widget, an advertising pixel or another third-party tool — this page is updated before that happens, and the footer notice starts asking for consent before loading them.
