Cookie policy

1. What are cookies and what are they used for?

A cookie is a small file downloaded onto the user’s device (computer, phone or tablet) when visiting a website. Cookies can store and retrieve information about browsing habits or the device, remember preferences and, where appropriate, improve the user experience or produce visit statistics. Some cookies are essential for the technical operation of the site; others are used only if the user gives consent.

2. Types of cookies used on this site

Depending on purpose, controller and retention period, this site may use the following categories:

• By purpose: technical cookies (needed to remember the consent choice) and analytics cookies (site usage measurement via Google Analytics 4, only if accepted).
• By entity: first-party cookies (set by Vantage Compliance & Tech) and third-party cookies (set by Google LLC).
• By retention: session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) and persistent cookies (kept for a defined period stated in the table).

This site does not use advertising or third-party marketing cookies.

3. Cookie table

Inventory of cookies that may run on this website:

The _ga and _ga_VGSJ9NE5QR cookies are installed only if the user clicks “Accept all” on the cookie banner. If the user rejects, Google Analytics tags are not loaded and those cookies are not set.

4. International data transfers

If you accept analytics cookies, Google LLC may process information associated with those cookies. Google may transfer data to countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Google states that it applies recognised safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or the applicable transfer framework). See Google’s information at: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

5. How to accept, reject or withdraw consent

On the first visit (or when no preference is stored), a first-layer banner is shown with two equally prominent buttons — “Accept all” and “Reject all” — plus a link to this Cookie policy. Google Analytics does not run until “Accept all” is actively clicked.

• You can reopen the settings panel at any time using the floating cookie button at the bottom-right, or the “Cookie settings” button on this page.
• If you switch from “accept” to “reject”, analytics cookies already set for this site will be removed where possible.
