2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) may be used for the same purposes (preferences, session, consent).

3. Legal basis

Strictly necessary cookies rely on legitimate interest / technical necessity to provide the requested service. Optional cookies (advanced preferences, analytics, marketing) are used only with your consent, which you can change at any time via the “Cookie settings” panel.

4. Cookie categories

Necessary — session, security (CSRF), login / “Remember me”, selected language. These cannot be turned off in the consent panel.
Preferences — remembering interface choices (e.g. closing the welcome message) for a smoother experience.
Analytics — measuring traffic and site performance (only if enabled later and only with consent).
Marketing — third-party advertising / remarketing cookies (only if enabled and only with consent). We currently do not run ad campaigns on the site.
