What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We use cookies and similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) to make the site work, remember your preferences, and — with your consent — to measure usage, record sessions for usability analysis, and run experiments.
Our consent model
On first visit, only essential cookies are set. Analytics and marketing categories are off until you click Accept all or enable them in Preferences. You can review or change your choice at any time:

Analytics
Off by default. Loaded only after you grant consent, with one exception: Google Analytics 4 runs pre-consent in Consent Mode v2 limited-tracking mode, which does not set persistent identifiers until you accept. Microsoft Clarity and PostHog are not loaded at all until analytics consent is granted.
