Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy describes only the technologies this site actually uses, verified against its current configuration.

1. What they are
Cookies and similar technologies (local storage, tags and embedded content) let the site work and, when you allow it, measure usage and display the office map.
2. How they are controlled
On your first visit a notice offers three equally accessible options: accept all, reject all, or configure by category. Under “Customize” you can allow Google analytics, Google advertising and the Google Maps map separately; those three categories start switched off and none of them loads before your decision.
You can change or withdraw your decision at any time from “Cookie preferences” in the site footer. Withdrawing takes the same number of steps as accepting, blocks the optional Google connections again, and deletes the measurement cookies this site can technically remove.
3. Hosting technical and security cookies
Verified on 7 September 2026: the network that delivers and protects the site (Cloudflare) sets the security cookie __cf_bm, lasting about 30 minutes, whose purpose is to tell human traffic from automated traffic. It is strictly necessary to protect the service, is set by the server, and is not used for advertising or profiling.
The hosting platform also sets the technical cookie __dpl, which identifies the deployed version of the site so the correct files are served consistently. It does not measure your browsing and is not used for advertising.
The hosting platform's visitor analytics is switched off in the project settings: the site does not load the platform measurement script, does not create statistical session cookies and does not send visit events. No measurement runs before your cookie decision.

5. Google Maps
The office map is embedded Google content. It loads only if you accept the corresponding category; until then a placeholder with a button is shown and no information is sent to Google. Once loaded, Google receives your IP address and browser data and may set its own cookies.
6. Third parties
The optional measurement and map services are provided by Google (https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies). Site delivery and protection are provided by Cloudflare, and website and database hosting by Lovable.
7. Browser controls
Besides this site's preferences, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage may prevent your decision from being remembered.
