Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites work, remember choices, and understand how they are used. Similar technologies (such as local storage) are covered by this policy too.

2. Consent — opt-in

We use an opt-in approach. Only strictly necessary cookies are set by default. Non-essential cookies (such as analytics) are only used after you accept them via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Manage Cookie Preferences link in the footer.

3. Categories we use

• Essential — required for the site and security to function (always active, cannot be disabled).
• Analytics & Performance — help us understand anonymous usage so we can improve (opt-in).
• Marketing & Communications — updates and newsletters, only if you opt in.
• Personalization — remember preferences to tailor your experience (opt-in).
• Third-Party Services — enhanced functionality via trusted third parties (opt-in).

4. Cookies we set

• wss_session — essential session cookie for basic site functionality. Expires when your browser session ends.
• wss_gdpr_analytics — remembers your analytics consent choice.
• wss_vid — an anonymous visitor identifier used for aggregate analytics. Only set after you accept analytics cookies. Lasts up to ~2 years.

We keep a minimal, anonymous record of page visits for security and aggregate statistics; this does not require a cookie and does not identify you personally.

5. Managing cookies

Besides our preferences panel, you can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
