1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your browser or device when you access our website. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like local storage) to ensure the technical functioning of the site, measure performance, and understand how users interact with our architecture.

2. Our Tracking Architecture & Cookie Types

This website is built on a lean, privacy-conscious architecture. We only deploy tracking mechanisms that serve a specific operational or analytical purpose.

A. Strictly Necessary (Technical) Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function securely and correctly. They do not require your prior consent under EU law.

Purpose: Saving your cookie consent preferences, managing network security, and facilitating core site navigation.

Duration: Ranging from session-length to 1 year (for consent state).

B. Analytical & Behavioral Cookies

We use these cookies to measure site performance, analyze traffic flow, and audit user experience. These are only deployed if you grant explicit consent via our cookie banner.

We utilize two primary systems for analytical tracking:

1. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Server-Side GTM

Purpose: To measure acquisition channels, total traffic, and core engagement metrics.

Privacy by Design: Our GA4 deployment is routed through a self-hosted Server-Side Google Tag Manager (sGTM) architecture. This means data is processed on our European servers first, where Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is scrubbed and IP addresses are anonymized before any data is dispatched to Google's endpoints.

Provider: Google Ireland Limited.

Duration: Up to 2 years (unless manually cleared).

2. Cloud-Based Behavioral Analytics (PostHog Cloud)

Purpose: To monitor technical errors, track feature engagement, and analyze aggregate user behavior (e.g., scroll depth and event clicks) to continuously improve our site architecture.

Privacy by Design: We utilize a PostHog Cloud (EU-hosted) instance. Your behavioral data is processed in accordance with European data protection regulations, kept securely, and is never sold, shared, or processed by third-party advertising networks.

Duration: Session-length up to 1 year.

3. Managing and Revoking Consent

You have absolute control over your data. You can withdraw or modify your consent for analytical and behavioral cookies at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookies" icon located at the bottom left of your screen.

If you prefer to block tracking at the browser level, you can configure your browser to reject all or specific cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may break core site functionality.
