What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for essential site operation and, with your consent, for measurement.

Bot protection on the contact form (always active)
The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from automated traffic. The Turnstile widget loads from challenges.cloudflare.com and may use cookies or local storage under that domain, only for this security check. It does not read your form entries. We treat it as strictly necessary for the form, so it loads without consent. Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum applies.
Managing your consent
Your initial choice is recorded when you accept or decline via the banner that appears on your first visit. To change it later, use the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. The Google Analytics script loads only after you choose Accept all. We also use Google Consent Mode v2: analytics_storage is granted only when you accept, and advertising storage is always denied. If you later switch to Essential only, Google Analytics stops measuring. Cookies it already set stay until they expire or you clear them in your browser.
