Third-Party Cookies
The third-party service that may install cookies on your browser is: Google Analytics. All non-essential cookies will be activated only after you have expressed your consent through the cookie banner.
The site's fonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono) are self-hosted locally, so no requests to the Google Fonts servers and related cookies are installed.
On the first visit to the site, a banner is displayed requesting consent for the use of cookies. The available options are:
Accept all: activates all types of cookies, including analytical and preference ones
Only necessary: enables only essential cookies for the site's functioning, disabling Google Analytics
Customize: allows choosing individually which categories of cookies to activate
In accordance with the GDPR, no analytics cookie is activated before user consent has been expressed. Your choice will be stored and not requested again until expiration or manual cancellation.
You can modify your preferences at any time by deleting the "cookie-consent" cookie from your browser.
