4. Consent Management
4.1 Cookie Consent Banner
We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage your cookie preferences. When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies: Enables all cookie categories;
- Reject non-essential cookies: Only necessary cookies will be set;
- Customize preferences: Choose which categories of cookies to enable or disable.
4.2 Legal Basis for Cookie Use
For users located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR (or the equivalent provisions of the UK GDPR and Swiss nFADP):
| Cookie Category | Legal Basis | GDPR Article |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary cookies | Legitimate interests — operating a functional, secure website | Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Analytics and Performance cookies | Consent — freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous | Art. 6(1)(a) |
| Functional cookies | Consent | Art. 6(1)(a) |
| Advertising cookies | Consent | Art. 6(1)(a) |
Our consent mechanism is designed to meet the requirements of the EU User Consent Policy and EDPB Guidelines 05/2020 on consent. Specifically:
- Freely given: Consent is not bundled with acceptance of our Terms of Service; rejecting non-essential cookies does not prevent access to the Site.
- Specific: You are presented with separate toggle controls for each category of non-essential cookies.
- Informed: Each category is described with its purpose, provider, and cookie duration.
- Unambiguous: Consent is signalled by a clear affirmative action (clicking "Accept" or enabling a category toggle). Pre-ticked boxes are not used.
4.3 Withdrawal of Consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of our Site. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal. Non-essential cookies already set will be cleared from your browser upon withdrawal.
4.4 Consent Records
We record a timestamped log of each consent event to demonstrate compliance with GDPR Article 7(1). Each record captures: the date and time of the consent event, the categories accepted or rejected, and the version of the Cookie Policy in force at the time. Consent records are retained for a minimum of 3 years and are available to supervisory authorities upon request.

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by:

5.2 Effect of Rejecting Cookies
Please note that if you choose to reject Cookies and Similar Technologies, our Site will still work for you but some features or functionality may be limited.
5.3 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no uniform standard for interpreting DNT signals, our Site does not currently alter its data collection or use practices in response to DNT signals from browsers.
Where a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal is received from a browser or device, we treat it as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information for users in jurisdictions where GPC is a legally recognized opt-out mechanism (including California under the CPRA). GPC opt-outs are processed automatically and do not require additional action from you.
6. How Long Are Cookies Stored?

Cookies have different durations depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser;
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (specified in the tables in Section 3) or until you delete them.
