If you do not want to visit external opt-out tools, you can also refuse marketing cookies using our consent panel, which prevents our site from enabling those cookies.

Google Services and Advertising

"This website uses the following Google services:

  • Google Analytics 4: collects anonymized usage data, device info, and behavioral signals. IP anonymization is enabled. Data retention is set to 14 months. Users may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Google Ads Conversion Tracking: records when a user completes a defined action (form submission, call, purchase) after clicking one of our ads. This data is used solely for measuring ad campaign performance.
  • Google Remarketing: allows us to show ads to previous visitors across Google's network. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories (health, finance, religion, sexual orientation).
  • Google Tag Manager: deploys tracking tags on our behalf. No personal data is collected by GTM itself; it acts as a container for the tags listed above.

Google's advertising products are governed by: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads"

In practice, if you reject non-essential cookies, analytics and advertising tags should not be activated by this website. Essential cookies can still be used to maintain security and save your preference choice.
