We use Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This helps us improve the user experience.
Microsoft Clarity provides heatmaps and session recordings that show how visitors navigate and interact with pages. Content masking is enabled, which means personal information entered into forms is not captured in recordings. Data is processed by Microsoft Corporation in the United States.
Google Analytics provides aggregate statistics on page views, traffic sources, and visitor demographics. IP anonymization is enabled. Data is processed by Google LLC in the United States.
Analytics cookies are only set after you explicitly consent via the cookie banner.
We do not currently use marketing cookies. If we add them in the future (for example, to measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns), they will require your explicit consent before being set.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:
On our site: Click "Cookie Settings" in the page footer to reopen the consent banner and change your preferences.
In your browser: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent some features from working correctly.
