Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 24, 2026
The short version: This website uses Google Analytics cookies only if you click Accept on the banner. If you decline or ignore it, no analytics cookies are set and nothing is loaded from Google for analytics. We do not use advertising or tracking tools. If you arrive from a personal link in an email from us, a note of your visit is sent to our own database (hosted by Google) without any cookie.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, tracking pixels, and device fingerprinting, can do the same kind of tracking. Websites use them to remember settings, keep you signed in, measure traffic, or show advertising.
What this website does
If you click Accept, the website loads Google Analytics, which sets the cookies below. If you click Decline, or do nothing, it sets none of them. The website also remembers your choice by storing one small item (named sfm_analytics_choice) in your browser’s local storage, so it does not ask you again on every page.
| Category | Used on this website? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | No | The website works without cookies. |
| Preferences | One item | Your cookie choice (sfm_analytics_choice), stored in local storage until you change it or clear your browser data. |
| Analytics and performance | Only if you accept | Google Analytics cookies _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier. They last up to 2 years and tell us how many people visit and which pages they read. Google signals and ad personalization are turned off. |
| Advertising and targeting | No | No advertising or retargeting pixels, and no social media plug-ins. |
Content from other companies
The fonts and images on our pages are served from our own website, not from Google or other font or image services. Information goes to another company in two cases. If you accept analytics, your visits are measured by Google Analytics (script loaded from googletagmanager.com). And when you press the submit button on our contact form: your submission is sent to our own contact database, which is hosted by Google, and to Web3Forms, our form delivery provider, so that it can be emailed to us. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Cookie consent
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Accept and Decline are equally easy to choose, and the site works the same either way. You can change your mind at any time by choosing Cookie settings in the footer. Declining or withdrawing also removes the analytics cookies this site has set on your device.
If this changes
If we ever add advertising or other tools that use cookies or similar technologies, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before they are used.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies for any website, and many also offer a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track setting. Check your browser’s help pages for instructions.
