In short: We use one necessary cookie to remember your cookie choice. Everything else (website statistics and external media such as Google Maps) is optional and only used if you agree. You can change your choice at any time:
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work in the same way. In this policy “cookies” covers all of them.
2. How we use cookies
We sort cookies into three categories:
- Necessary — needed for the website to work and to remember your cookie choice. These are always on. Legal basis: they are strictly necessary (Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive; Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site, if we have switched website statistics on. Only with your consent.
- Marketing / external media — content from other companies, such as Google Maps, which may set their own cookies. Only with your consent or when you click to load the content.
Nothing optional is loaded before you choose. If you choose “Reject all”, only necessary cookies are used. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as “Reject all” unless you switch categories on yourself.
Fonts: our fonts are self-hosted on this website. Loading them sets no cookies and sends no data to Google Fonts or any other third party.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ibtivia_consent | This website | Necessary | Stores your cookie choice (random ID, categories, policy version, time) so we do not ask again on every page. | 180 days |

We currently do not use any analytics cookies.
4. How to change or withdraw your consent
Use the “Cookie settings” button on this page or the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. When you withdraw consent for analytics we stop loading Google Analytics and delete its cookies from our domain.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, we will ask for your cookie choice on every visit.
5. Proof of consent
When you make a choice, we store a record of it (a random ID, your choices, the policy version, the time, a shortened IP address and a hashed browser identifier) for 12 months, so we can prove that we asked for your consent. See our Privacy Policy for details.
6. Changes
If we add new cookies or change how we use them, we will update this page and ask for your consent again where needed.
