Cookie and Storage Policy
What Are Cookies and Local Storage
To provide a professional and efficient experience, this site uses cookies and similar technologies, specifically Local Storage. Cookies are tiny files downloaded to your device, while Local Storage allows us to store data within your browser to remember your preferences.
This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and how we respect your choice to opt-out of non-essential tracking.
Managing Your Preferences
We utilize a consent banner to give you control over your data.
- Accept All: You agree to our use of local storage for analytics and site preferences. This helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our services.
- Reject All: We will only use “strictly necessary” storage to keep the site functional. No persistent tracking identifiers will be stored, and analytics will run in a restricted, anonymous mode.
How We Use These Technologies
Strictly Necessary Storage
We use storage to keep the site functioning correctly. This includes:
- User Preferences: To remember if you have accepted or rejected our privacy notice.
- Security: To prevent fraud and ensure the integrity of our contact forms.
Performance and Analytics
We use Minimal Google Analytics 4 to understand site traffic. This implementation is designed to be privacy-respecting:
- It utilizes Google Consent Mode v2, meaning no data is stored or used for advertising purposes.
- If you Reject tracking, analytics data is sent in a cookieless, anonymous format that does not identify you across sessions.
- If you Accept tracking, we use local storage to measure things like how long you spend on the site and which pages are most helpful.
For more information, see the official Google Analytics privacy page.
Third Party Services
In some cases, we use plugins to enhance functionality:
- Social Media: Buttons for LinkedIn or Facebook may set their own cookies if you interact with them while logged into those platforms. These are managed by the respective social media providers.
Disabling via Browser
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings (see your browser “Help” menu). Note that disabling all cookies via your browser may “break” certain features of this and other websites. We recommend using our on-site banner to manage your privacy settings specifically for this website.
