1. What cookies are

Cookies are small browser files, or similar technologies, used to make websites work, remember choices, or measure traffic.

2. What we use at launch

  • The website is designed to load without non-essential cookies on the first page load.
  • Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights may collect aggregate, cookie-less metrics for performance and traffic.
  • External videos load only after you interact with the player, and video platforms may apply their own policies.

3. Analytics and consent

CookieYes manages consent for non-essential categories. Google Analytics 4 may be enabled for traffic statistics only together with this consent mechanism.

When GA4 is active, it may use cookies such as _ga or _ga_* after the Analytics category is accepted. Refusing or withdrawing consent prevents analytics-marked scripts from loading.

4. How to control cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The CookieYes banner lets you accept, reject, or change non-essential category choices.
