4 Google Analytics and other services
If Google Analytics 4 is enabled, it is used to create statistics about website use. It may collect session data, device information, interactions and approximate location. We do not intentionally send personal details such as a name, email address, telephone number or driving licence information. The service is enabled only after the appropriate consent. If Google Ads, Meta Pixel, embedded maps, reviews, videos or other tools are used, they must appear in the detailed cookie list and operate according to user choices.
5 Giving and withdrawing consent
On the first visit, a consent tool should offer Accept all, Reject all and category-level settings. Optional cookies must not be activated before consent. Choices can be changed or withdrawn at any time through a persistent Cookie Settings link.
6 Duration and deletion
Some cookies expire when the browser closes, while others remain for a set period. The exact lifetime of each cookie must appear in the consent tool’s detailed list. Cookies can also be deleted through browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
7 Transfers outside the EEA
Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers rely on lawful safeguards such as an adequacy decision, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for certified organisations or Standard Contractual Clauses.
