Cookies policy

This page explains which cookies and other storage technologies we use, who sets them, what they're for, and how long they last. Per GDPR and Article 5(3) of the e-Privacy Directive, non-essential cookies are only set after your explicit consent.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage, tracking pixels) fall under the same rules. We refer to them all as "cookies" on this page for simplicity.

How to manage your consent

On your first visit a consent banner appears. You can accept all, reject all non-essential, or manage each category individually. You can change your mind any time by clicking "Manage cookies" in the page footer.

Third-party providers

When you grant analytics consent, our site forwards anonymised data to the following providers via Cloudflare Zaraz (server-side proxy):

  • Cloudflare Zaraz (Cloudflare, Inc.) — Consent management + server-side execution of third-party tags (so no third-party script loads in your browser before you grant consent).
  • Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd. (Ireland)) — Aggregated traffic analytics. Your IP is pseudonymised before it reaches Google.

Your rights

You have the right to request access, correction, deletion and portability of your data, to object to processing and to withdraw your consent at any time. See the Privacy policy for full details or contact info@itcs.services.
