We collect analytics data only with your explicit consent.

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information.

Cloudflare Web Analytics is also active. It is cookieless and collects no personally identifiable information — no consent is required for this service.

We use the following cookies only after you give consent:

  • _gid — Google Analytics, used to distinguish users (expires 24 hours)

We also store your cookie preference in your browser's localStorage (not a cookie, and not transmitted to any server).

6. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port your data, and to object to or restrict processing. Since we hold no personally identifiable data beyond what GA4 collects, most requests can be addressed by withdrawing consent (which stops future collection) and requesting deletion directly from your Google account.
