No. The Website does not provide user registration or account creation.
We therefore do not collect or maintain personal data for the purpose of creating or managing user accounts.
3. Does the Website allow comments?
No. The Website does not provide a commenting function.
We therefore do not collect personal data through user comments.
4. Personal data we may process
Depending on how you use the Website, we may process limited technical and usage information, such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device information;
- operating system;
- approximate location derived from IP address;
- pages visited and interactions with the Website;
- date and time of visits;
- referral information;
- information relating to cookies and similar technologies; and
- information contained in technical logs necessary to operate and secure the Website.
If you voluntarily contact us, we may also process the personal data you provide, such as your name, email address and the contents of your message.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through the Website unless explicitly stated otherwise.
5. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), provided by Google Ireland Limited for users in the European Economic Area, to understand how visitors use our Website and to improve its content and functionality.
Google Analytics may process information such as:
- information about your device and browser;
- pages and content you view;
- approximate location;
- how you arrived at and interacted with the Website;
- technical information about your visit; and
- information associated with analytics cookies or similar technologies, depending on your consent choices and the configuration of Google services.
Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode to communicate your consent choices to Google services.
Our consent-management system communicates your choices to Google. Depending on the configuration of Google Consent Mode, Google tags may receive a default consent state before you make a choice.
Where consent for analytics storage has not been granted, Google may operate in a restricted, non-cookie-based manner and may send limited information to Google for purposes such as modelling or measuring Website activity.
Where you grant consent for analytics, Google Analytics may use analytics cookies and process analytics information in accordance with that consent.
The information processed therefore depends on your consent choices and the technical configuration of Google services on the Website.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Website’s cookie or consent settings.
Google’s Privacy Policy is available at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
Information about Google’s use of data when websites use Google services is available at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
6. Cookiebot and consent management
We use Cookiebot by Usercentrics as our consent-management platform.
Cookiebot helps us obtain, manage and record your consent choices regarding cookies and similar technologies used on the Website.
Cookiebot may process information necessary to manage your consent, including information relating to your consent choices and technical information associated with your device or browser.
Cookiebot may use necessary cookies or similar technologies to store and manage your consent preferences.
Cookiebot also helps us control optional cookies and similar technologies according to your consent choices.

7. Legal basis for processing
We process personal data only where there is a valid legal basis under the GDPR.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR)
Where you have consented to optional cookies, analytics or other processing for which consent is required.
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR)
Where processing is necessary for purposes such as maintaining, securing and improving the Website, provided that our interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR)
Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation applicable to us.
Where you voluntarily contact us, processing may also be necessary to respond to your request or to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies.
These may be used for:
- essential Website functionality;
- security and technical operation;
- storing and managing your privacy and consent preferences; and
- analytics and measurement, where applicable consent has been provided.
We use Cookiebot by Usercentrics to manage consent for cookies and similar technologies.
For detailed information about the cookies and similar technologies used on the Website, including their purposes, providers, categories and retention periods, please see our Cookie Policy and the Cookiebot cookie declaration displayed there.
You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent through the cookie settings provided on the Website.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.
9. Data sharing and service providers
We may share personal data with service providers that process information on our behalf where necessary for operating, securing and improving the Website or providing services to you.
These may include:
- our Website hosting provider;
- technical and security service providers;
- Cookiebot by Usercentrics, for consent management;
- Google, in connection with Google Analytics and Google Consent Mode; and
- other processors that we may use from time to time.
We require processors to process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and our instructions where required by law.
10. International data transfers
Some service providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on an appropriate legal transfer mechanism under applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another legally recognised safeguard, where required.
Google and Usercentrics may process information outside the EEA. Information about their privacy practices and international data transfers is available in their respective privacy documentation:

11. How long we keep personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, security or reporting requirements.
For Google Analytics 4, event-level and user-level data is retained for 14 months, in accordance with the data-retention setting configured for our Google Analytics property. After the applicable retention period, this data is automatically deleted by Google Analytics.
Aggregated reporting data may be retained for longer periods because it is not subject to the same event-level data-retention settings.
Consent records and related information may be retained by Cookiebot for the period necessary to document and manage your consent choices and to comply with applicable legal requirements.
Personal data submitted when contacting us is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the request and, where applicable, for as long as necessary to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Technical and security logs may be retained for a different period depending on our hosting and security providers’ configurations.

13. Right to lodge a complaint
