What are cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage. These tools help the website function, remember your preferences, and understand how the service is used.

Summary of how we use these technologies

• Analytics: help us understand aggregated traffic and usage to improve the service. Optional and disabled unless you consent.
• Performance: help measure and enhance speed and reliability. Optional and disabled unless you consent.

You can control non‑essential categories through the banner at the bottom of the site. Your preference is saved in your browser (for example under the key “cookie_prefs” in local storage) so that we can honor your choice.

• Browser controls: you can block, delete, or restrict cookies and storage using your browser settings. Doing so may affect site functionality.

International data transfers

We operate from the Netherlands. If data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. We do not sell personal data.
