We use Google's consent mode: analytics cookies are not set until you accept via the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining on your next visit.
Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).

If you email us directly, we retain your email address and message only for as long as needed to respond.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
