3.1 Use of Cookies

We use cookies to recognize you on our Site and remember preferences like language settings. Google Analytics may also use cookies for purposes such as remarketing, impression reporting, and demographics and interest tracking.

Implied consent applies when your actions or behaviour indicate agreement, such as submitting a form or interacting with our Site.

For sensitive data (e.g. pronouns, email addresses, and organizational details) or purposes that go beyond what is reasonably expected, we will obtain your explicit consent. Explicit consent involves a clear and direct confirmation from you, such as checking a box, signing a form, or responding affirmatively to a specific request.

We rely on legally recognized mechanisms, we work only with trusted third-party service providers that comply with applicable data protection regulation, we use advanced encryption, and regardless of where your data is processed, you retain all rights outlined in this Privacy Policy, including the right to access, correct, or delete your data.
