1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files or records stored on a device. The website also uses browser local storage to maintain sessions, preferences and information strictly required for the restricted area.
2. Categories
- Necessary: operation, security, authentication, language and storage of cookie choices. These remain active.
- Audience measurement: usage statistics. These are enabled only after consent where they are not strictly necessary.
- External content: Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo and other embedded players. Requests to the third party are blocked before consent.
- Marketing: advertising, profiling or campaign measurement. These remain disabled until a service is configured and valid consent is obtained.
3. Current technical inventory
- ml_cookie_consent — necessary — stores the policy version and selected categories — maximum duration 6 months.

4. External services
Once external content is authorised, the provider may receive the IP address, browser, viewed page and its own identifiers. Its terms apply. Enhanced modes such as YouTube no-cookie and Vimeo do-not-track are preferred, while prior blocking remains in place.
5. Accepting, rejecting and withdrawing
On the first visit you may accept all, reject optional categories or customise each category. Rejection is presented as simply as acceptance. “Manage cookies” in the footer lets you change the choice at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. Reloading the page may be necessary to stop third-party content that was already loaded.
6. Browser controls
You may also delete or block cookies in browser settings. Blocking necessary storage may prevent login or use of the customer area.
