Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Local and session storage work in a similar way. We use as few as possible: two small items the site needs to work, and, only if you allow it, Google Analytics.
Cookies we use
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| provate_consent | Provate (first party) | Remembers your cookie choices so we don’t ask on every page. Stored in your browser’s local storage, or as a cookie if local storage isn’t available. | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
| pv_intro | Provate (first party) | Remembers that you’ve already seen the short opening animation during this visit. Stored in session storage and contains no personal information. | Strictly necessary | When you close the tab |
| _ga | Google Analytics (first party) | Distinguishes visitors so we can count visits. Set only with your consent. | Analytics | 13 months |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics (first party) | Keeps track of a visit session. Set only with your consent. | Analytics | 13 months |
We don’t use advertising or social media cookies, tracking pixels, session replay or recording tools, heatmaps, chat widgets, or embedded third-party videos or maps that set cookies. Fonts and images are served from our own website, so loading a page doesn’t send your details to other companies. Links to LinkedIn and Google Maps open those sites in a new tab, where their own policies apply.
How we use Google Analytics
Google Analytics loads only after you choose “Accept all” or turn analytics on in Cookie settings. Until then, no Google script runs and nothing is sent to Google. We’ve turned off Google signals, advertising features and ad personalization, and Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. Google processes this data as our service provider under its data processing terms. You can also install Google’s opt-out browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Your choices
- Choose “Accept all”, “Reject all” or “Manage settings” on the banner. Rejecting is as easy as accepting.
- Change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, we stop analytics and delete the analytics cookies.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we keep analytics off.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works fully without analytics cookies.
