You can control cookies through:

- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation
- localStorage: You can clear localStorage via browser developer tools (Application → Local Storage)
Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies/storage will prevent authentication and the Service may not function correctly.
4. Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-P781BBY9H1) to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect anonymous, aggregated statistics (pages visited, session duration, approximate location at the country level). IP anonymization is enabled by default.
You can opt out at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer and selecting "Essential only". We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting, or cross-site tracking.
5. Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent as they are essential for the Service to function (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive). All other cookies require your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
