3) Consent requirements
This section explains how our cookie banner works and how consent is recorded and withdrawn.
Consent banner behaviour
The consent banner provides three options: Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, and Manage Preferences. Analytics and marketing cookies are not activated until you explicitly consent. Your choice is stored in localStorage for 12 months. You can dismiss the banner by selecting Reject Non-Essential, which keeps only essential cookies active. The banner links directly to this Privacy Policy.
By clicking 'Accept All Cookies', you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request.
You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking 'Manage cookie preferences' in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred while consent was valid.
