Cookie Policy
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
This site uses no third-party advertising cookies and no third-party analytics tools. It runs first-party analytics only.
2.1 Strictly necessary
cookie_consent remembers your choice on the cookie notice; lang remembers your
language; lang_suggestion_dismissed avoids repeating the language suggestion. By their nature these
do not require consent.
2.2 First-party analytics
We record pages visited, time on page, scroll depth, clicks and form interaction, together with your
IP address and the approximate location derived from it (country, city and network operator).
The IP address is personal data. A pseudonymised identifier (sb_visitor_id) is stored in your
browser to distinguish visitors, plus sb_session, sb_ref_token and
sb_traffic_source for the duration of the visit.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in analysing the use of our own website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where applicable, the consent you give through the cookie notice (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Retention: a maximum of 30 days on this website's server and up to 12 months in the controller's centralised analytics system, where records may be consolidated with those of other services operated by the same controller. Recipients: to derive the approximate location from the IP address we use an IP geolocation service based in the United States, an international transfer covered by the safeguards of Chapter V GDPR.
How to reject: a notice on the site lets you accept or reject the analytics. If you click Reject, your browsing is not recorded and your choice is remembered.
