Cookie Policy
Our approach
We keep this website as private as possible. We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies, so we do not show a cookie banner. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary, or that remember a choice you have made, do not require consent.

WhatsApp links
The WhatsApp buttons are plain links to wa.me. They do not load anything from WhatsApp on this website until you click them.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which do not use cookies and do not track you across websites. They give us aggregated statistics such as page views and page load performance.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the NEXT_LOCALE cookie, the site will simply use your browser language.
