Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or session state — so you don't have to re-enter that information on each visit.
We also use a technology similar to cookies called localStorage, which stores data directly in your browser rather than sending it back to a server with each request. This website uses localStorage to save your cookie consent preference.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Mandatory / Strictly Necessary: These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features like navigation, security, and consent preference storage. They cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics / Performance (optional): These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site — pages visited, time spent, entry and exit points, and basic device/browser data. This information is aggregated and used only to improve site structure and content quality. These cookies are activated only when you select "Accept all."
Preference / Functional (optional): These cookies remember choices you have made to personalize your experience, such as language or display settings. Currently no preference cookies beyond consent storage are active on this site.
We do not use advertising, retargeting, or tracking cookies. No data collected through this site is shared with ad networks or social media platforms for targeting purposes.
3. Specific Cookies and Storage Items
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vbp_cookie_choice | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent choice ("all" or "required") | Until cleared by user |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics (optional) | Google Analytics — distinguishes users and sessions for traffic analysis | 2 years / 1 day |
| _gid | Analytics (optional) | Google Analytics — distinguishes users within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
Analytics cookies are only set if you consent to "Accept all." If you select "Required only," only the vbp_cookie_choice localStorage entry is used.
4. Third-Party Cookies
If you consent to analytics, this site may load Google Analytics scripts served by Google LLC. Google may set its own cookies subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We do not control those cookies directly. You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
No other third-party scripts that set cookies are active on this website when you select "Required only."
5. How to Manage Your Preference
