How We Use Your Data

Cookies
This site uses minimal cookies. Your language preference is stored locally on your device using localStorage and is not transmitted to our servers. If analytics cookies are ever implemented, they will require your explicit consent before activation. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie consent banner.
Third-Party Services

- Access your personal data that we hold.
- Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
- Withdraw consent at any time for data processing based on consent.
