    What are cookies<\/h2>\n

    \nCookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow us to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, measure how the site is used, and (with your consent) deliver personalized advertising.\n<\/p>\n

    \nFor all other<\/strong> cookie categories, the legal basis is your explicit consent<\/strong> under GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7, collected via the cookie banner before any non-essential cookie is set.\n<\/p>\n

    \nYou can withdraw consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link or by clearing your cookies; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal (GDPR Art. 7(3)).\n<\/p>\n
