1. Introduction

Our website uses cookies to provide a secure, personalized, and efficient browsing experience. Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site, improve functionality, and deliver relevant content.

Generally, cookies are very useful and are a common method used by almost every website you visit because they help to make your online experience as smooth as possible. For security reasons, many websites will not function at all without the use of cookies (or other similar technologies, such as “web beacons” or “tags”).

Cookies generally do not hold any information to identify an individual person but are instead used to identify a browser on an individual machine. Sometimes cookies can collect certain data that can be considered as personal data (e.g. where performance or marketing cookies are concerned).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

10. Google reCAPTCHA Compliance Update

Effective April 2, 2026, Google reCAPTCHA will transition from operating as an independent Data Controller to acting solely as a Data Processor. As a result, all data collected through reCAPTCHA on our website will be processed strictly under our instructions and in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In line with this change, Google's Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service no longer apply to users in connection with reCAPTCHA.

11. Microsoft Clarity Update

We use Microsoft Clarity (behavioral analytics: heatmaps, session recordings) solely under your Analytics consent. Our CMP passes valid consent signals to Clarity using Clarity Consent API v2 and/or Google Consent Mode. If you opt out, Clarity runs in a limited, cookieless mode and does not set cookies.

Microsoft Clarity is activated only after opt-in consent for Analytics cookies is granted. Without consent, Clarity does not set cookies and operates in a limited, cookieless mode, which alters reporting (e.g., each pageview may be treated as a separate session; funnels/returning user metrics are affected).
