How measurement works
May we measure how this website is used? With your permission, we record pages visited, visit source, language, device category, WhatsApp clicks and successful form submissions. No advertising trackers or form contents.
Optional first-party analytics starts only after consent. We use a random identifier in sessionStorage for a journey in one browser tab; it expires after 30 minutes without a measured action or when the tab closes. These are estimated visits, not unique people. The consent cookie ds_analytics lasts 180 days. Events are stored on our server for 90 days and purged daily. Analytics excludes names, emails, form contents, full IP addresses, full referrer URLs, URL queries and browser fingerprints. A separate, daily rotating IP digest limits abuse and is deleted daily. It is not linked to journeys. No advertising or cross-site tracking. Change your choice below at any time; refusal stops future collection and clears the local session identifier. Existing events expire under the retention policy. GPC and Do Not Track disable analytics. Operational server logs and submitted enquiries are separate from analytics.
Separately, ds_language remembers a language you choose for 365 days. Protected admin functions use a login session cookie. These functional cookies do not require analytics to be enabled.
