In short
This website does not use tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. The only third-party content that can set cookies is the Google map in the contact section of our Home page, and it only loads if you allow it.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Browsers also offer similar storage, called local storage. They can be strictly necessary to make a site work, or optional, for example for tracking or third-party content.
2. What this site uses

| Google Maps cookies (for example NID) | Optional, third-party | Set only if you allow the map on our Home page. Google uses them to run the map and for its own purposes, as described in Google's privacy policy. | Set by Google, often up to 6 months | |
| Google Fonts | Strictly necessary, no cookies | Delivers the fonts used on this site. Google receives your IP address and browser details, but no cookies are set. | Not applicable | |

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels or any other tracking or advertising tools. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
3. Your choices
When you first visit, a bar at the bottom of the page lets you choose:
- Essential only. The site works fully, and the map on our Home page stays switched off. You can still open the location in Google Maps with the link provided.
- Allow Google Maps. The map on our Home page loads, and Google may set cookies.
Nothing optional loads before you choose.
4. Changing your mind
Click Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to change your choice at any time. If you withdraw consent, the map will not load again. Cookies Google has already set stay in your browser until they expire, and you can delete them in your browser settings. Your browser's help pages explain how.
