1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies are set by the website operator (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded within the page (third-party cookies).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in strict compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Romanian law) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We operate an opt-in consent model: we do not place analytics cookies until you have explicitly consented. Necessary cookies are placed by default as they are required for the website to function.

4. Google Consent Mode v2
We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2 on this website. This means that:
- By default, analytics_storage and all advertising-related consent signals are set to denied until you give explicit consent;
- The Google Analytics script (
gtag.js) is not loaded until you accept analytics cookies; - If you accept analytics cookies, we update the consent signal to granted and load the analytics script dynamically;
- No ad cookies, ad user data, or ad personalisation signals are ever granted by this website — we do not run advertising campaigns through Google Ads.
