6. Cookies and Analytics
This site uses only strictly necessary cookies for basic site operation. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.
For audience measurement we use Plausible Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-friendly provider hosted in the European Union. It sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and does not track you across other websites or build advertising profiles. Plausible reports traffic only in aggregate, so individual visitors are not identified and no consent banner is required.
7. International Transfers
Some of our sub-processors are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. Where this is the case, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place (Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms).
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
