How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to comply with our legal obligations and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. After that, the data is deleted or anonymised.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies may contain unique identifiers, which are personal data. This website uses only the storage needed to remember your cookie choice, and, only if you accept them in the cookie banner, statistics cookies from Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) and StatCounter, which show us how the website is used (pages visited, approximate location, device and browser). Until you accept, Google Analytics runs in Google Consent Mode without cookies: it receives anonymous signals about page visits, with no identifier stored on your device, which Google uses to estimate the total number of visits; StatCounter is not loaded at all. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page, and you can delete or block cookies in your browser settings.
