what are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit
a website. They help a website recognize your device and remember
information such as preferences or previous actions.
Similar technologies can also be used to store information in your
browser, including local storage. In this policy, when we refer to
"cookies", we may also refer to similar technologies where
relevant.
Cookies may be:
- First-party cookies, set by
our Website.
- Third-party cookies, set by
external providers whose services are embedded or used on a
website.
- Session cookies, which are
deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which
remain stored until they expire or are deleted.
Where cookies or similar technologies can identify an individual
directly or indirectly, they may constitute personal data under
the GDPR.
legal basis for using cookies
Our use of cookies is governed by applicable EU law, including:
- Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive / "Cookie Law")
- Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR)
Under these rules:
-
strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent
where they are essential for providing the Website or complying
with legal obligations;
-
non-essential cookies, such as analytics, functional, or
marketing cookies, require prior consent before being activated.
cookies and similar technologies we currently use
As of the last updated date of this policy, the Website uses a
consent storage mechanism and may activate Google Analytics only
after you choose Accept in the cookie
banner.
1. Strictly necessary consent storage
When you interact with the cookie banner, we store your choice
so that the Website can remember whether you accepted or
rejected cookies on later visits.
- Purpose: remember your cookie
preference and prevent the banner from reappearing on every page
load.
- Provider: first-party, set by
DigiPHY / Granstudio.
- Technologies used: the cookie
digiphy_cookie_consent and the browser storage entry
digiphy.cookie-consent.
- Stored value:
accepted or rejected.
- Duration: the cookie is stored
for up to 12 months unless deleted earlier; local storage remains
until cleared by the user or browser.
- Legal basis: service necessity
/ legitimate interest in recording and respecting your cookie preference.
2. Google Analytics
If you accept cookies through the banner, the Website may load
Google Analytics 4 to help us understand how visitors interact
with the Website.
- Purpose: measure traffic, page
visits, and general website usage patterns.
- Provider: Google LLC / Google
Ireland Limited, depending on your location.
- Activation: only after you choose
Accept in the cookie banner.
- Legal basis: consent.
More information about how Google processes data is available at
https://policies.google.com/privacy
.
analytics, functional and marketing cookies
The banner currently includes Accept
and Reject actions. At the moment,
Google Analytics may be activated after acceptance, while separate functional
and marketing cookie categories are not yet managed through a dedicated
preference center.
If we introduce additional tools such as embedded media cookies,
advertising technologies, or other optional trackers in the
future, we will:
- request consent before activating non-essential cookies;
-
update this Cookie Policy to identify the relevant providers,
purposes, and retention periods;
-
describe any third-country data transfers and safeguards, where
applicable.
how you can control cookies
On your first visit, the Website displays a cookie banner that
allows you to record your preference by choosing Accept or Reject.
At present, the Website does not yet provide a dedicated
"Customize cookies" or "Cookie Settings" control for changing that
choice directly from the interface after the initial selection.
If you want the banner to appear again before such a control is
added, you can clear the consent cookie and related browser
storage through your browser settings.
browser controls
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies and site data by:
- deleting stored cookies;
- blocking cookies entirely or on a per-site basis;
- clearing local storage and other site data;
- receiving alerts before cookies are stored.

features work in the future.
changes to this cookie policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect
legal, technical, or operational changes, including the future
introduction of analytics or marketing technologies.
Any updated version will be published on this page together with a
revised "Last updated" date.
